To make a chair, there is an unlimited variety of combinations of material and style, and there are
different styles of chairs throughout the world. On the other hand, the elements which comprise a
sofa are limited. Sofa manufacturing in Japan involves the construction of wood frame, making the
internal structure, adding fabric and leather over urethane or feather bags for comfortable sitting.
Another method is to form a mold with a metal core frame and urethane foam. Among these limited
manufacturing methods, producing a new sofa by generating ideas is a battle. In this environment,
joint development of original leather with a leather manufacturer in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture,
has been carried out. Development of new material has been essential in the production of this sofa.
By overcoming these hurdles in original development, new products are born and developed.
The Lennon sofa has high comfort with low proportions as if the sofa rises up from the floor,
and has very good balance. Focusing on the corner sofa, a line-up of three-seater sofas has been
prepared. The height of the back of the sofa has been reduced, preserving a uniform height
throughout the entire length to emphasize the horizontal stretch. The sofa arm has also been
lowered to create a sense of greater breadth and depth without sacrificing the horizontal stretch of
the seat. In addition, the seat structure looks like placed cushions and is integrated with the bottom
base to give the appearance of being thin while ensuring comfortable sitting. The broadness of the
sofa is emphasized without appearing too heavy. The seat has an ensured depth so that you can
comfortably lie down, and can be used as a day-bed. By adding back cushions, comfortable sitting
has been achieved in the deep sofa. Moreover, lower cushions were added to both arms, to serve as
cushions to support the arm, and for design effect. The back and arm cushions can also be used to
support one’s back or even as a pillow. With a strong Lennon presence, our characteristic horizontal
design influences one’s definition and sense of the value of a sofa. Furthermore, this product will be
loved and supported both now and long into the future.
