— Clean lines, full curves
Taking cues from the svelte silhouettes of ’60s Italian autos, Alfa artfully balances fullness and compression for a tidy yet ample figure. Our favorite feature? Long legs that disappear into the sofa’s hindquarters, offering the illusion of suspension.

Jonah Takagi and Hallgeir Homstvedt are good friends who often work together across an ocean: Takagi is based in Chicago and Homstvedt’s studio is in Oslo. They first collaborated in 2016 as part of an exhibition sponsored by the Embassy of Norway and curated by Sight Unseen. Since then, Takagi Homstvedt has been commissioned to design furniture and lighting for clients like Design Within Reach, Le Klint and Roll & Hill.

“There is one product that anchors almost every living space: a sofa. The sofa system is foundational, giving structure to space, defining how we use that space, and setting the context for the other types of furniture that will complement it.”
