Andreu World has launched Giro Soft, a modular sofa system created by Alfredo Häberli. In this exclusive video interview produced by Dezeen for the Spanish furniture brand, the Zurich-based Argentinian designer shares the story behind the product.
The modular design features a series of slender upholstered seats with interchangeable legs, which can be joined together to build a larger sofa.
The seating modules come in a variety of shapes that feature both straight and rounded edges. The latter lends Giro Soft its name, as ‘giro’ means ‘curved’ in Italian.
A range of legs are also available, including sledge-like legs made of wood and aluminium frames that can be painted black.
These components were designed with both structure and aesthetics in mind said Häberli, who describes to the product’s base as “very architectonical”.
