SOFO ARMCHAIR
The design group Superstudio, known for avant-garde designs and probably the best-known representatives of the design direction Radical Design, designed Sofo in 1968. Sofo consists of an armchair and a two-seater armchair, which thanks to their design can be lined up almost endlessly, but can also be placed individually – just as the room situation requires. Expressive colour blocking in combination with rally stripes support the racy look and make Sofo a fancy seating option.
Rally stripes were used by motorsport racing teams in the late 1960s/early 1970s to mark their racing cars – for better differentiation and to visually support the streamlined shape. This marking was adopted in the 1980s by sporty drivers with racing ambitions and the car industry also sometimes uses this design on some models, such as the Ford Mustang. Rally stripes are meant to symbolise a stylisation of the race track – in any case, they make the armchair Sofo a curvy and streamlined seat, low-slung and perfectly shaped.
