{"title":"Designing a sofa","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"240\" data-end=\"482\"\u003eDesigning a sofa is both an art and a science—an exploration of comfort, proportion, and personality. At The Oblist, each piece begins with a vision: a form that will anchor a room, reflect a lifestyle, and endure beautifully over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"484\" data-end=\"811\"\u003eThe process of sofa design considers every detail: from the silhouette—whether sleek and modern, sculptural and curved, or timelessly mid-century—to the materials that define its character. Rich leathers, textured boucles, soft linens, or performance fabrics all play a role in shaping how a sofa feels, looks, and lasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"813\" data-end=\"1070\"\u003eWhen designing a modern sofa, function is as important as form. Sectionals are planned to maximize flow in open-plan spaces, sleeper sofas are designed for versatility, and modular systems allow for customization that adapts to changing needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1072\" data-end=\"1395\"\u003eCraftsmanship is at the heart of the process: kiln-dried hardwood frames provide structure, hand-stitched upholstery offers refinement, and cushions are engineered for both support and softness. Some designs draw inspiration from mid-century icons, while others push boundaries with bold geometry or innovative materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1397\" data-end=\"1549\"\u003eIn the end, designing a sofa is about more than creating furniture—it’s about crafting an experience, one that defines the way we live and gather.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"206572-teak-daybed-sofa-by-gustaf-hiort-af-orns-finland-1950s","title":"Teak Daybed Sofa by Gustaf Hiort Af Ornäs | Finland | 1950s","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis minimalist sofa is made of two teak boards on solid beech wood legs.
