Orwell

Designed by Goula / Figuera Design Studio, Orwell is a piece of furniture somewhere between a sofa, a bed, and a “cabin” that invites you to rest it in its interior.

Orwell is a piece of furniture somewhere between a sofa, a bed, and a “cabin”, as it was called in the Goula / Figuera Design Studio before it was christened with the surname of the 1984 writer.

The name references the original idea of the product which was to recapture that intimacy which can sometimes be lost, even within our own homes.

Orwell invites you to rest it in its interior and resuscitate that childhood memory of a “cabin”, that magical, hidden place that all children wished they had.

The heavy quilted curtains insulate against sound, and its size, similar to that of a bed, allows it to be used either sitting or lying down.
