Stefan Diez's sofa for Magis is designed to "rethink the traditional sofa system" | Dezeen

In this video produced by Dezeen for Magis, Stefan Diez explains how the new sofa system he designed for the Italian furniture brand is both user-friendly and part of a circular economy.
The Costume modular sofa, designed by Munich-based industrial designer Diez for Magis, is made of recycled plastic and designed to be easily assembled and dismantled by the user when needed.
The sofa's modular construction was designed to make cleaning, repairing and replacing its components simpler than with traditional sofa systems.
"Magis approached me with a brief to re-think the traditional sofa system," Diez explained in the video.
"They challenged me to come up with a sofa with an industrial soul, that was modular in nature, could be easily assembled and dismantled by the user and fit into the principles of the circular economy," he added.
The system is broken down into four main components: a seat, a pair of armrests and an ottoman.

This is what I need. And the world too

I like it! 😁

Yeah looked it up...the cheapest 1 seater is 1k. For beeing made out of plastic and foam, it is peetty expensive.

Yeah so from an industrial design concept standpoint it’s a great little idea, but anyone can buy some elastic straps, sinuous steel springs, twine, foam and some chunks of wood and build a cheaper, more sustainable, and certainly more comfortable seating element. What do we got, 2” of HRF on top of a molded plastic lump?
