the ‘marshmallow sofa’ by seoul-based design studio kamkam was influenced by the twisted structure of yarn skein. the candy-shaped couch consists of neatly wrapped threads that not only inform its outline, but also help in providing its strength and durability. blending into the base, the yarn serves as a curved backrest and helps to join the parts together. the furniture piece is finished with soft wool so that people can comfortably melt into the playfully squishy seat, or lean back on it.
