For 2012′s product line we asked Ineke Hans to design a sofa along the lines of last year’s successful O2ASIS initiative. The result is SMALLROOM, a sofa that can be used together in different modules, or alone.

SMALLROOM is characterized by a “box” on the side which can be used for placing plants, as a working surface or for storage. This provides for many possibilities of variation.

The back of the sofa can be compared to a high wall functioning as a sort of protection when one is seated, and creates the impression that one is sitting in a smaller room.

SMALLROOM is offered with different back and side heights, which provides the architect a possibility to create environments that evoke interest, through the help of different dimensions. SMALLROOM provides space for different kinds of activities, both individual and group activities.

While new technology and new materials are important to Ineke Hans, there is often a stroke of poetry in her designs. Ineke Hans has received a great number of awards, among others the Red Dot Awards and Design Plus Awards.
