The Wittmann Möbelwerkstätten 'BLOCKS' Modular Sofa is Retro-Inspired
Michael Hemsworth — April 1, 2023 — Art & Design
The Wittmann Möbelwerkstätten 'BLOCKS' Modular Sofa has been designed by Shanghai-based Neri&Hu as an adaptable piece of furniture for the modern home or office. The sofa is inspired by the recognizable Club 1910 armchair by Austrian architect Joseph Hoffman and features a decidedly curvaceous construction for onlookers to admire. The furniture piece preserves the heritage of the design, but incorporates six cushions with a table which can all be grouped together or positioned independently to suit different needs or preferences.
The Wittmann Möbelwerkstätten 'BLOCKS' Modular Sofa can be oriented into a wide range of positions, which will work well for spaces where agility and flexibility are of the utmost importance. The sofa is observed in a rich royal blue velvet finish, while the body is made with elm veneer or walnut veneer and the table has a Nero Marquina marble topper.
