The Copal sofa has no arms and features a gently angled backrest, giving it a distinctive presence that sets it apart from conventional sofas. The Japanese/Scandinavian style, was the first piece of furniture where the artists used a soap finish process, which makes the Maple timber look transparently beautiful. Combined with saddle leather strapping and soft upholstery for an elevated seating experience.
The sofa’s name is inspired by Copal tree incense, symbolising the transformation from the physical to the heavens. Hard maple, finished in oil and beeswax with black or soap finish. Available as a 2 or 3 seat sofa or customisable on request.
