Designer Carlos Tíscar of Spain launched this Origami sofa for Swedish brand Offecct at Stockholm Furniture Fair last month.The sofa is a contemporary version of an easy chair and has a winged backrest and slanted armrest, inspired by Japanese paper folding.

Origami turned out to fill a need in the market where easy chairs with higher backs are in high demand. To meet this demand OFFECCT now launches the Origami sofa as a complement to last year’s easy chair. The name Origami comes from the Japanese art of folding paper into 3D objects. Like origami, Tíscar’s easy chair and sofa is built by angular sections of straight lines. Tíscar has worked with contrasts rather than volumes, and the result is a piece of furniture that is powerful despite its light appearance. via
