Contemporary Crevice Couches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Divide by Nolen Niu Emphasizes Every Angle

— May 20, 2011 — Art & Design
The creases between sofa cushions become mysterious worlds where valuables are lost and found, but Divide by Nolen Niu is a line of furnishings that turns such nooks and crannies into focal points.

The designer's furniture takes on very clean geometric forms that take backrests, arms, seats and pillows, uniting them as one piece and one dynamic continuous surface that offers the eyes some visual intrigue, and the body a comprehensive system of comfort and support.

In addition to opening up the enigma of the cushion crevice, making it far more than a gutter for crumb collection, the triangular troughs within Divide by Nolen Niu reduce any fabric tension between the each element of the chesterfield. This marvelous moveable is a contemporary marriage between form and function that will inspire any space.
