Sofo
by Superstudio
Sofo is a seat to place in a row, like a train, or to stack to build solid, colorful mountains. It is simply a block made with an S—shaped cut from a cube of polyurethane, covered with fabric featuring two large stripes. The result of a very simple operation, without wasted material or thought. It presents itself as a compact, abstract, colorful object that communicates the joy of living, like things that arrive from another world.

🟩🟪 Sofo 🟪🟧
armchair and sofa by Superstudio, 1968
«Sofo is a seat that you can put in a row like a train, or use to build mountains and thrones, mountains and pyramids firmly planed in the ground.
But at the end it is only a polyurethane block, a cube split in two parts by an “s” and then covered by material with two big stripes.
It is the result of a very simple operation, without any material or intellectual waste.
It appears like a big colored object, a little abstract maybe, like all the things with a bit of joy that look like things from another world».
Adolfo Natalini, Superstudio
Available colors:
— verosa [green/pink]
— rosancio [pink/orange]
