Sofabed, 2009 | ||||||||||
Bamboo and cotton, (78 x 212 x 75 cm) ’For the unexpected visitors who stays overnight’. The sofa is designed by engineer, Claus Molgaard and Ole Jensen. From the beginning it was the ambition to create a piece of furniture with a new and spontaneous functionality, with manufacturing and material selection based on real environmental analysis. The development is done in collaboration with the Technical University of Denmark, (Quantitative Sustainability Assessment — Department of Management Engineering) Professor, Ph.D. Michael Zwicky Hauschild, Anji Bamboo Technical Centre, China, and the world’s largest manufacturer of cotton mattresses, Innovation Randers. |
The manufactured sofas are prototypes. Shown for the first time at the exhibition "It’s a small world" at the Danish Design Centre, Copenhagen, from August 28, 2009 to January 31st, 2010.
