Orwell

Orwell is a piece of furniture somewhere between a sofa, a bed, and a “cabin”, as it was called in the design studio before it was christened with the surname of the '1984' writer. The name references the original idea of the product which was to recapture that intimacy which can sometimes be lost, even within our own homes.

Orwell invites you to rest it in its interior and resuscitate that childhood memory of a “cabin”, that magical, hidden place that all children wished they had.

The heavy quilted curtains insulate against sound, and its size, similar to that of a bed, allows it to be used either sitting or lying down.

Orwell es un mueble a medio camino entre el sofá, la cama y “una cabaña”, como se le conocía en el estudio antes de que se le bautizara con el apellido del escritor de 1984. Este nombre hace referencia a la idea original del producto, ya que está pensado para reencontrar la intimidad perdida, a veces, incluso dentro de nuestro propio hogar.

Orwell invita a descansar en su interior y resucita el recuerdo infantil de la “cabaña”, aquel lugar mágico y propio que todo niño quería tener.

Las gruesas cortinas acolchadas aíslan del sonido y las dimensiones totales, similares a las de una cama, permiten su uso tanto en postura sedente como yacente.
