Furniture can do more than serve a function. When thoughtfully designed, it becomes part of the architectural language of a space. OLTA approaches sofas and armchairs as sculptural elements, where comfort and form coexist without compromise. Distinct silhouettes, carefully balanced proportions, and refined upholstery turn seating into a visual anchor for the entire room.
Sofas as Architectural Statements
Certain interiors benefit from a sofa that defines the space rather than blends into it. Goya and Anaga sofas exemplify this approach through their strong, confident geometries. Their clearly articulated volumes make them suitable for open-plan living rooms, where the sofa must visually organize the space while remaining inviting for everyday use.
In more expressive interiors, modular concepts take on a sculptural role. Reverso’s composition, built from clearly separated elements, allows the sofa to read as a designed structure rather than a continuous block. Positioned centrally, it functions almost like a spatial divider—without closing the room.
Softer Forms, Artistic Presence
Not all sculptural furniture relies on sharp lines. Amalfi and Hudson sofas introduce rounded contours that soften the interior while still commanding attention. Their flowing forms work especially well in calm, minimalist environments, where a single expressive piece can replace multiple decorative elements.
Take Stone, for example—its balanced proportions allow it to act as a focal point even in restrained color palettes. Here, form becomes decoration.
Armchairs as Functional Sculptures
Armchairs often provide the perfect opportunity to introduce an artistic accent. Grey’s compact silhouette offers visual clarity, making it suitable for smaller spaces where every element must be intentional. Meanwhile, Coco’s enveloping shape creates a sense of intimacy, ideal for quiet corners or reading zones.
Grey Wood’s exposed structure adds an architectural note, allowing the armchair to stand on its own—whether paired with a sofa or used independently.
How to Style Sculptural Seating
- Let one dominant form lead the composition
- Keep surrounding elements visually restrained
- Allow negative space to emphasize the furniture’s shape
