a sofa creating digital number combinations, by ola giertz at stockholm furniture fair 2018

launched at the stockholm furniture fair 2018, ola giertz’s ‘flipper’ is a modular system which allows creating tailored environments with various digital number combinations. the module-based sofa consists of one standard seat unit and four backs, which can be combined in different seating systems according to the space’s needs and character.

‘for a long time, I have been fascinated by repeatable patterns and always tried to transfer these forms into physical products in my imagination,’ explains gierz. ‘after watching my digital alarm clock every morning and evening, the idea of a modular system emerged, and the two-dimensional digits of the clock were transferred to the computer and later turned into three-dimensional shapes.’ developed in collaboration with swedish company inoff, the shape can advantageously create sophisticated interior solutions in different public environments.
