Stack pillows on top of each other to have the most comfortable seating experience. That is exactly where the inspiration for this couch comes from. Copenhagen designers Kibisi teamed up with new Danish upholstery company Versus to come up with this idea: stacked pillows with fiber concrete buttons. This modern grey sofa is a part of the Brick series consisting of a pouf, a chair, a two and three seater. This design first appeared into the mind of the Kibisi team when one of their partners, Bjarke Ingels had problems with finding the perfect sofa for his apartment. He wanted it to express the architectural lifestyle and so the Brick Sofa has its brick inspired cushion form but also special buttons, molded from fiber concrete. A Brick Sofa compliments a contemporary interior and can become the focus point of a room.
