'Soft Parcel' by TAF Arkitekter

The Swedish architects TAF recently unveiled their new upholstery collection they designed for the Italian gallery Rossana Orlandi in Milan.

Gabriella Gustafson and Mattias Ståhlbom, founders of TAF, asked themselves, what the easiest way to upholster a piece of furniture could be – Probably the way you wrap a parcel. Instead of using paper the architects wrapped the square foam pieces with high-quality fabric. The result is a serie of different sized soft modules – loaded on a trolley they even become an easy chair.
