Velar Sofa
Velar holds the body in a low, curved embrace, echoing the quiet comfort of sitting up in bed and letting time slow down.
About
Some sofas invite you to sit. Others invite you to settle in. Designed by Andreas Engesvik, Velar draws on the familiar comfort of sitting up in bed. A place where the body can lean back, shift, and gradually come to rest. With its low position, curved back, and open sides, it creates a soft enclosure. Supportive, yet never enclosing. Structured, yet allowing movement.

Good design often begins with curiosity. How does something work? What could be improved? And what happens when you approach a familiar object from a different direction?
For Andreas Engesvik and Jannicke Grung, the designers behind Oslo-based studio Grung Engesvik, these questions are part of an ongoing conversation. Their work explores the relationship between materials, construction and everyday use, with an appreciation for the knowledge and craftsmanship involved in making things well. Different perspectives meet in a shared process, where ideas are questioned, developed and refined. Always with an interest in creating objects that people will enjoy using, caring for and keeping.
