Experimenting with furniture design by drawing inspiration from everyday objects and nature has always been a guiding light. For example, Willo Perron’s sofa for BD Barcelona features a flexible, sausage-like shape that can be arranged in various ways. In the same spirit, Tacchini’s new sofa takes its cue for its design from a lump of butter, part of the Bread and Butter collection created in collaboration with Faye Toogood. Soft, sculptural, and modular, the sofa combines playful design with comfort and versatility.
In line with the Toogood studio’s experimental and hands-on approach, the Butter Sofa is shaped after a lump of Cornish butter molded by slippery fingers. Generously padded and soft like butter, the sofa rests on large, building-block-like volumes that are modular and easy to reconfigure. “There is beauty in the small things of everyday life; sometimes you don’t need to look beyond the breakfast table to find new meaning,” says Faye Toogood.
The sofa features a sturdy wooden frame with multi-layered polyurethane foam padding for utmost comfort. Its seat cushions are filled with hypoallergenic fiber and covered in butter-soft upholstery that gracefully wraps oversized, modular building-block structures. These blocks can be rearranged in different ways to suit your style in a total of 10 different compositions, including one that makes it a sunken sofa.
“I wanted to create a chair as comforting, and as tactile as soft butter. Modelling with slippery fingers, the modular Butter Sofa appeared. Every day life is a thing of beauty. Sometimes you need go no further than the breakfast table to find meaning. Slice a loaf of bread. Look at it from a new perspective,” Faye Toogood adds.
The Butter sofa is inspired by domestic happiness and everyday rituals and can be combined with matching console tables, coffee tables, and trays. It reflects the playful and unique design approach of the Toogood studio.
