ASSEMBLE by destroyers/builders
VALERIE_OBJECTS
The ASSEMBLE sofa designed by destroyers/builders encourages exactly what its name suggests: to assemble your own sofa. The asymmetrical cushions are assembled into different sofa-elements. There are single seaters to choose from, two-seaters, corner elements, poufs and side tables to play around with. This sofa was developed to be neither too firm, nor very soft. “This universal fit was a very important feature in my design process”, says Linde Freya Tangelder, the woman behind destroyers/builders. Form-wise the ASSEMBLE was inspired by weathered pebble stones, by ground glass or the remains -
Nouveau
EX.T
Freely inspired by the Art Déco of early 20th century Nouveau collection - featuring washbasins, containers mirrors and accessories - gets richer in 2020 with new elements: a bathtub and a shower system. The bathtub shows the same sinuous and geometric lines of the entire collection. Its small size and circular shape includes a detail that, just like in the washbasins, is both decorative and functional. Thanks to this element it is possible to place objects or install the taps, allowing the bath to be set on the wall as well as a centerpiece of the room. -
ASMARA
LIGNE ROSET
Asmara defines itself as a modular sofa in stretch, with concave shapes that voluptuously embrace the shape of the bodies in a human conception of aesthetics. Decomposed into several elements, the Asmara composition can be constantly rearranged. The seat consists of five separate modules: convex, concave, small backrest, large backrest, semicircular table. The most common composition consists of two convex elements, 6 concave elements, 3 small folders and 1 large folder. It makes it possible to carry out an islet or a “classic” implantation. -

BAIXA
SOFTLINE DENMARK
BAIXA is a comfortable lounge chair with a unique design that captures the past as well as the future. The lumbar support turns into the armrest in a flowing, harmonious movement with soft and round lines like the upper part of the backrest. This way a silhouette is formed that resembles a sunset in soft sand dunes, hence the name of the chair.
