With the raised floors being popularized in the 17th century, Japanese society as a whole adopted tatami living as the driving design principle of housing design, Zabuton were used to bring comfort to the seating of the nobility. Our Zabuton sofa is a take on re-introducing traditional Japanese living into a modern piece of furniture. It is designed as a frame for a variety of traditional cotton items - futon, zabuton, bolster. Items can be arranged in a variety of ways in order to adapt to different activities. The result is an experience combining the very intimate, low, simple and un-ostentatious quality of the Japanese traditional items - and the very generous, comfortable, social aspect of modern couches. This piece was developed in collaboration with Takaokaya, a Kyoto based futon maker. Successive generations of Takaokaya have continued to nurture Kyoto craftsmanship for 100 years, creating products with soul that are true to the times and yet draw on the traditions unique to the former capital. Every step of their process is hands-on. PROCESS The cotton is first massaged to create an even layer of distribution, before the futon, zabuton, and bolster sleeves are sewed. The cotton is then hand stuffed into these sleeves, producing different densities of hardness dependent on its use. The frame of the sofa, a wooden plinth and partitions, are hand crafted in Oakland, CA. Meticulously detailed to allow the soft features to be draped and attached to the hard and clean surfaces of the wood. The wood details produce cavities for both the soft components of the sofa, as well as areas of use to stage your own belongings.
