arik levy will present his ‘ hoop sofa’ that he designed for italian company living divani during milan design week 09.
its coloured, tubular metal structure is a geometric pattern of hoops that join together and intersect to create a light illusion of full and empty spaces. the sofa is covered with cushions for maximum comfort.
‘I wanted to create a light, outdoor seat, that seems to float in the air and conveys an aura of conviviality. a sculpture for the garden, comfortable and easy to maintain’ – arik levy
'there is no real, defined space, there’s just the reflection’ – designboom speaks with Hermès artistic directors charlotte macaux perelman and alexis fabry.
