Deezen interviews Alfredo Häberli
Design talks
Marcus Fairs and Alfredo Häberli talk about Giro Soft, a modular sofa system that is based on a curve and allows for an efficient use of space, providing an organic, comfortable and cozy character. In this exclusive video interview produced by Dezeen, the Argentine-Swiss designer shares the story behind the product.
The modular design features a series of stylized upholstered seats with interchangeable feet that can be joined together to form a longer sofa.
We had a team relationship from the first second, Häberli told Dezeen founder, Marcus Fairs, in an exclusive video interview conducted through Zoom. We have the same vision. I sent some drawings and we immediately started working on 1: 1 prototypes, which for us designers is the most beautiful thing.
Los módulos de asiento vienen en una variedad de formas que presentan una combinación de bordes rectos, extremos redondeados y curvas de 90 o 45 grados. Este último da a Giro Soft su nombre, ya que giro significa curvado en italiano.
