Vela is a modular sofa for public spaces with various needs, such as museums, galleries, and offices. With a formal aesthetic, it allows the space and surroundings to remain the focus. The modules can be easily rearranged, and the sofa can be accessed and used from multiple sides.
The legs feature an eye-catching detail that add refinement and function. Shaped as extended half circles with a rounded top, they come together to form a full circle when the modules are combined. This creates a visual element while also serving a practical purpose, making cleaning beneath the sofa easier. The angle at the backrest introduces both visual contrast and added function, support a more upright posture and a surface to lean on to from behind. This angle gets repeated at the front of the seat and makes it easier to stand up.
