Low-Back, Deep-Seat Sofa: For Lounging, Not Sitting Upright

A sofa with a seat depth of 1100mm, far exceeding the usual 550mm, and a backrest height of only 620mm from the ground—this combination of numbers dictates that it can only be used for reclining, sitting cross-legged, or lying on one's side, not for sitting upright to eat. The seat cushion is made of low-resilience soft foam wrapped in down, which will noticeably sink and retain its shape when sat upon. The throw pillows are several large square pillows that can be freely moved, not fixed to the back. The visual center of gravity of the entire sofa is extremely low, like a mass fallen to the ground. The fabric is a soft cotton-linen blend with natural wrinkles. Front-side view, showing the depth. Avoid: making the seat depth a standard size, making the backrest high, using high-resilience, non-sinking seat cushions, fixing the throw pillows to the backrest.

一張沙發的座深做到 1100mm,遠超過一般的 550mm,而椅背高度只有離地 620mm——這兩個數字的組合決定了它只能半躺、盤腿或側臥,不能端正地坐著吃飯。座墊是低回彈的軟泡棉外包羽絨,坐下去會明顯下陷並留下形狀。靠枕是幾個可以自由移動的大方枕,不固定在背上。整張沙發的視覺重心極低,像一團落在地上的量體。布料是柔軟的棉麻混紡,有自然的皺褶。側前方視角,呈現深度。避免:座深做成一般尺寸、椅背做高、座墊使用高回彈不下陷、靠枕固定在椅背上。
