FLOAT Sofa
Manufacturer: Sancal
Designer: Karim Rashid
A sofa that is also a screen.
Hand in hand with Karim Rashid, we have managed to create a seat that respects our own universe when we cohabit in public spaces.
As Virginia Woolf would say, "a room of one’s own" providing intimacy and freedom.
Float is a contemporary couch designed for multiple purposes. This slim floating seat with incorporated back wall provides complete privacy in open spaces, to rest back on, hang one’s scarf or coat on or simply wait in seclusion.
One of the main characteristics of Karim’s designs is their colourful combinations, which at first glance seem impossible. Sancal products, on the other hand, are usually less vibrant. Float offers the perfect balance, as we have granted greater relevance to the textures and reserved the touches of colour for smaller detail such as the headrest or cushions.
Each Float component (arms, seat, back and headrest) can be selected in a different fabric. There is also a single colour option, upholstered with the same fabric - your Float looks the way you want it to.
Float is available in 3 sizes:
- two sofas with a low back and
- one sofa with a high back.
- The latter offers different combinations: apart from the straight arms, you can choose an inclined arm to lie back on, in the style of a chaise.
Furthermore, two hangers can be attached to the high back as if as it were a wall.
As for the cushions and headrests, Karim has also designed a series of patterns named Cairo.
The collection is inspired in Egypt, where he was born. With a strong contemporary approach, Karim unites tradition and personal memories, adding bright colours to pictures of organic geometry.
