Created by industrial designers Yin-Yu Lo and Trinna Wu, the flat-packed Puffa inflatable sofa is designed for the urban lifestyle. The Puffa's flat-pack style enables the user to carry it to camping trips, leisurely beach days, and other outdoor activities. It is also ideal for student living and small spaces.
The pair of designers constructed the inflatable sofa from 3D weaving distance technology. This is an optimal production method for this type of furniture material as it uses a stable supporting force that prevents eventual sagging. The model surface of the sofa, therefore, remains flat and durable for long-term use.
The Puffa sofa is instantly inflatable and allows the user to adjust the stiffness of the seat and cushion. When transporting the flat-packed furniture, the neon sofa deflates and folds into the size of a yoga mat for easy portability.
