ECO MODULAR SOFA “SEN”

 

“Sen” is a high-end eco modular sofa collection and stands for a redefinition of contemporary, responsible and sustainable living in the 21st century.  It represents a return to simplicity, constancy, honesty and fine craftsmanship. “Sen“ is made from the highest quality natural and organic materials that awakens the senses,  like finest British organic wool and luxurious wool/ramie cloth. 

 

The clean and unadorned design sets the focus on the employed highest quality materials and is based on the circular economy model which eliminates the concept of waste.

Studio180° employs their very own green building method without the use of glue and steel coil springs to craft all-natural and durable furniture pieces by hand. All materials used, except zips, are either biodegradable or recyclable and free from toxic flame retardants and harmful chemicals.

 

The selected high-quality cover fabric has a twill-like texture and a subtle, elegant shine. The highly engineered fabric has excellent climate-regulating properties and absorbs and evaporates moisture. After its lifespan, the fabric can be returned to natural cycles and be composted, where it will naturally breaks down into harmless components to provide food and nutrients for new life.
