Treves

By Kensaku Oshiro

Rapidly evolving technology is reshaping how we live and communicate. Even the traditional living room, long centered around the television, is being reconsidered. Against this backdrop, Treves explores new forms of gathering, where natural conversation can flourish. 

Inspired by ideas of asymmetry and imperfection, and the Japanese notion of ma (“the space between”), the sofa collection embraces irregularity as a source of freedom and new values. Each module features a soft, rounded form with carefully placed slits. Slight variations in angle and shape allow the modules to nest together harmoniously, expanding possibilities for seating orientation, posture, and interaction. 

Configurations can create a chaise lounge, encourage dialogue, or subtly divide a space. Treves proposes a new way to gather—connecting people comfortably, where presence, distance and atmosphere extend beyond words.
