The Mille Feuille Sofa is a statement furniture piece that explore the interweaving of three different materials - wood, metal and foam. With this object I set about to accomplish a memorable interaction visually and tactile. The classic mid century shape of the sofa`s legs aim to awaken a feeling of familiarity while the playful backrest invites you to explore and relax. The metal structure of the backrest only highlights the soft, inviting quality of the foam creases. More than a composition challenge this sofa was born out of the need to explore the capacity of an object to evoke emotion.

This best features of this furniture piece is the exploration of the psychology of perception of a new object and the search for finding new ways to aid an emotional connection between a user and an object.
