After a long development process, we have completed yet another modular sofa. BOLD is a very spacious, soft modular sofa with a generous seat depth, and its minimalist form floats lightly above the floor. This gives the room a sense of visual openness \u2013 and a robot vacuum can easily get underneath it too.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Developing the BOLD sofa took quite a long time. Designing a simple form is much harder than creating a playful, distinctive design. With a minimalist sofa, every little detail has to be perfect: comfort, ergonomics and good proportions.<\/p>\n

With a boxy sofa design, ergonomics is in fact one of the biggest challenges. Sofas like this are often not comfortable \u2013 they are stiff, and ergonomics has not been considered at all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the BOLD modular sofa, we paid special attention to the backrest. Although it looks upright from a distance, it is actually slightly reclined. But most importantly, we designed the back filling so that its upper part is softer, which means you can lean back comfortably even without extra cushions. We also angled the BOLD seat cushion slightly backwards, so you never get the feeling that you are sliding forward off the sofa \u2013 especially when you want to sit in a more reclined position.<\/p>\n

The backrest and armrest of the BOLD modular sofa share the same properties and the same height. The benefit is that it is also comfortable to sit sideways on the sofa: put your feet up and lean your back against the armrest. With a sofa that has a protruding corner section, for example, one person can settle comfortably into the corner while another relaxes lying sideways.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A good sofa also has to be just soft enough. You have surely experienced sinking into a sofa only to be surprised that it feels as hard as a stool. The comfortable springiness of the BOLD seat comes from pocket springs combined with long-lasting HR foam. We have brought the softness of the sofa into just the right balance, so it is pleasantly soft and supportive at the same time.<\/p>\n

One of the most important features of the BOLD sofa is, of course, its modularity. The range includes standard seat modules, corner modules, chaise longues, open-end modules, extension corners and ottomans. All modules are available in different lengths, so you can create a combination that fits your space. BOLD modules are connected with hidden clips. This keeps them from shifting out of place, yet they can be rearranged or new modules added whenever needed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Despite its massive form, the BOLD sofa floats lightly above the floor, resting on either stylish slat legs or sturdy cylinder legs. Both options are available in different wood tones, such as natural, a darker walnut tone and black stain.<\/p>\n

A sofa gets a long life when it is built on a solid wood and plywood frame. And of course, the wood must be FSC certified. Particleboard is not a good material for a sofa frame \u2013 it is too brittle, and its joints can break over time. A sturdy frame must be paired with quality metal springs and HR foam. While cheaper foams sag after just a year of use, the more expensive HR foam may soften slightly over time but still keeps its shape.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the most important components of a sofa is the upholstery fabric. The price difference between a quality fabric and a cheap one is several-fold \u2013 and so is the difference in lifespan. Good fabrics don’t stretch as quickly, don’t pill or wear through, and are easier to clean and wash. We have left so-called bait fabrics out of the OOT-OOT Studio fabric selection \u2013 the ones that make the \u201cprice from\u201d look very attractive but are not actually recommended. We try to make choosing a fabric easy and offer OEKO-TEX certified fabrics that we can trust in the long run.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The BOLD modular sofa is made for those who appreciate clean, timelessly simple design but don’t want to compromise on comfort. A sofa where every detail has been thought through so that it is genuinely good to be on.<\/p>\n

The BOLD modular sofa is so new that you can’t find it in our online store just yet. But you can already get to see and try the BOLD sofa in our Tallinn showroom at Staapli 10, Noblessner. The first orders are already in production!<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
