The first, most prominent element of Rexite’s Tobi sofa by Elena Trevisan is its soft curves. Look deeper into the design and you’ll find that it almost floats on solid wooden legs, inviting users to sink into it. For its unique design, Trevisan was inspired by the Tobi-ishi stepping stones in a Japanese garden that visitors walk over before settling down for the traditional tea ceremony. Tobi is meant to emanate the same sense of calm and other-worldliness.
