Hiroshima sofa

Naoto Fukasawa / Maruni Collection

¥458,000

There’s something of a trend afoot in sofas for feet to be raised. Maybe, like hemlines the height of sofas rises in times of economic crisis or, more likely, it’s to do with smaller living spaces seeming bigger when there’s room under (and around) furniture. It’s no mean feat making a three seater sofa appear to float but if anyone can, Naoto Fukasawa’s probably the man. His Hiroshima sofa is a case in point. The sturdy, attractive oak legs give the right-angled, box frame a distinct levity – a master of simplicity, illusion and, of course, comfort.
