The Leko Sofa has a futuristic aesthetic that has as much to do with the material used as it does the shape it takes on. At first glance, the Leko Sofa looks as though it were made out of carbon fiber. The slick gray surface is deceptive, however. Instead, it was made out of Rehau, an all-weather material that is weaved tightly together for durability and comfort.
Designed by Grupo HeWi, a design studio founded by Ing Hendricus Wichers and based in Ciudad de México, Mexico, the Leko Sofa can be used both indoor and outdoor. Considering its construction, it would serve a greater purpose outside. With its sleek shape and matching ottoman, the Leko Sofa will add a luxurious air to any living space while complementing existing home decor.
