House Block
"HOUSE refers to the comfort zone, a place of retreat and amenity. This is the concept, which initiated a system and collection of cozy, timeless and highly comfortable seating. Designed as versatile seating solution, HOUSE offers a striking simplicity, thanks to the assemblage of its two contrasting elements; a soft voluminous seating area, and a flexible and light backrest. Filled with soft and cozy arm- and backrest cushions, it offers an ergonomic comfort with compact dimensions."

Genesis and inspirations
Sylvain Willenz’s anthropological approach has generated the modest and straightforward forms of HOUSE.
“The very rational usage of geometry, results in somewhat basic yet elementary combinations that address our daily patterns and needs in the office as well as at home. The design, through its form, is warm, welcoming and human centered.” – Sylvain Willenz
The uncomplicated geometry of the modules enables building a wide and versatile range of arrangements.
HOUSE comes in two backrest heights. The high-back sofas create a discreet and acoustically sound lounge for the office space, whilst the low-back versions are perfectly suited to both private houses, office or public spaces. The sofas offer two leg options; wood or steel can be chosen in order to answer and better match the chosen environment. An additional full block version (from the floor up) gives yet another choice; its stronger proportions further emphasizes the softness and volume of the design.
Two pentagon poufs (small and large), add an extra graphic and functional module to the system. They can either be used as complementary modules in an arrangement, or solely, as seating islands.
Accessories such as a usb -c and mini USB/230V electrical port can be added, affixed to the main sub-structure beam of the sofas. A handy pivotable tablet is scheduled for development.
