Introducing the Soufflé
We are so excited to introduce, “the Soufflé”, Foolscap Studio’s first foray into soft furniture design and manufacturing. Dynamic, fluid, and capable of endless configurations, the Soufflé, is a modular interior landscape.
In a rapidly changing world where workplace and home environments collide, the Soufflé challenges perceptions, expectations and experiences by blending work, life and leisure modes into a singular, highly-customisable lounge system.
Its high level of flexibility encourages expression and stimulates creativity, challenging the status quo of what workplace and domestic furniture needs to be and how we use it.
“Initially designed for our own future-forward studio space, The Cloud, we’ve envisioned a seating system to suit a variety of settings – be it sophisticated hotel lobby, retail destination, workplace breakout space, or with its supportive backrest, senior living. In the home, pushed together into pit mode, it’s the perfect spot for projector movie nights, to spread out on with a book in hand, or even a mid-afternoon nap,” says, Adele Winteridge, CEO and Founder of Foolscap Studio.
“We’re really proud of this in-house-designed modular sofa, which aptly derives its name from the collective noun for clouds, which, as an interior concept, was key to tying all elements together in a way that felt light, approachable, and ever- changing” says Winteridge.
The Soufflé embodies this concept through its infinite configurations, foam structure and fluid design language. Its dynamic design language is informed by, and builds-on, the plasticity and innovation of the 1960s, bringing this pioneering design era to life, for today.
“The Soufflé celebrates ‘slow-design’ thinking,” says Winteridge. “Like other notable designs that exhibit a high degree of modularity, individual pieces can be passed onto family and friends throughout a lifetime – and without any sharp edges or hard materials, it’s one-hundred percent child friendly. The Soufflé also grows with its user: from a bijou studio apartment in your twenties, a family home in your fifties, to a bungalow in your eighties.”
With an injection of frivolity, the Soufflé’s unexpectedly fun forms bring about reactions of delight to those that use it, and yet there’s a restrained poetry in its adaptable, block-module composition. Whether in isolation or composed into interesting arrangements, the Soufflé’s sinuous backrest offsets its rectilinear forms, catching light and casting shadows to create a wholly unique spectacle. Combined with its multi-generational appeal, the Soufflé is the sofa that keeps on giving.
Designed and produced exclusively in Melbourne by Foolscap Studio. The Soufflé is made to order by contacting Foolscap Studio.
