Project Description
A recurring challenge on our projects had been providing abundant seating without over burdening a space with furniture. For Aeonia, our goal was to design a dynamic well proportioned piece that would facilitate large parties and smaller gatherings alike and engage people in the entire space.
This design evolved from a previous design of ours from 2009 the client had seen and admired. The design developed out of our desire to create a comfortable sofa that maintains a clean and minimal profile.
The scale was very important, equally important was comfort. Lower backs enhance socialization, its curves allow for smooth flow of traffic and makes the sofa inviting and comfortable. Built in tables, both on the sides and on the top of the frame, offer a convenient place to set a drink.
The most difficult part of this design activity was making the Aeonia comfortable for a variety of users. Ergonomic design calculations were used in order to provide optimal seat height, depth, back pitch, and overall height.
The first Aeonia was delivered to a Beverly Hills home in California for a creative film producer and functions as planned.
We hope its duration is eternal, as its name suggests.
