Corrugated sofa
2021 / Toyo Gagu Club / Personal project
Designed by Johan Kim.
Coincidentally, it was inspired by a three-dimensional sculpture made of corrugated cardboard.
First, I thought about how to refine the shape while making a three-dimensional sketch. I made a prototype using only corrugated paper by peeling off a layer of corrugated cardboard. The shape was completely refined with a 2D sketch based on the curved pattern and overall mass felt on the prototype. 3D modeling was carried out and details were added and finished. It is a sofa that will act as a point element in the space, taking the curves felt in the corrugated cardboard prototype as a point.
Leather stamp detail
It is finished with yellow leather upholstery.
The corrugated cardboard pattern is emphasized.
Overall, the purpose of the sofa is to be used as a point element in space.
The front part was organized into a neat side, and the back side was more organic, allowing the front and back sides to feel slightly different charms.
