Horm - Kouch sofa
This "randomness" of forms, fgures, materials and behaviors is actually a movement. I have always been inspired by technology that allows me to shape, wave, spin, twist and melt the world. KOUCH and OUCH are voluptuous, organic and ergonomic creations that express my continuous search for an innovative "Soft World" language.
"I have been very interested in organic forms for 20 years. I feel the need to "soften" the goods that surround me to make our life more casual and relaxing. I wish to be wrapped in my Kouch." Cit. Karim Rashid.
Structure in cold foam foam around a reinforced metal structure. Cover in fabric, leather or eco-leather.
