ShowHouse Showdown
The brief was simple and precise from the offset, design a home for “family living”. Having two boys I know the necessities and design implications needed for a family home and this took centre stage when generating the concept for my design. I designed a sofa, derived from a simple sketch, for comfort and slouching but also to withstand the imagination of a young child (tried and tested as a wrestling ring) using a commercial rated velvet on a bespoke frame, this definitely ticked the box for durability.
I then added an abstract “Harlequin fabric” cushion that set the precedent for the colour scheme throughout the downstairs of the house.
