Mäss: The Transformable Sofa

A Versatile and Innovative Seating Solution

Mäss, a transformable sofa designed by Claudio Sibille, takes inspiration from the Rubik's Cube to create a modular seating solution that offers versatility and wit. The main idea behind this design is to provide users with the ability to transform the sofa into several separate seating solutions, all with just two different pieces of the same shape.

The unique feature of Mäss lies in its simplicity. The main structure of the sofa is the same size as the armrests but thicker. By turning the armrests 180 degrees, users can change or continue the main piece of the furniture, creating different configurations to suit their needs and preferences.

Constructed with a wooden structure, high-density foam, and upholstery, Mäss combines functionality with comfort. Its modular design allows for easy customization and adaptation to different spaces, making it an ideal choice for modern living environments.

The Mäss sofa project started in January 2010 and was completed in May 2012. Throughout the design process, Claudio Sibille aimed to create a piece of furniture that not only serves its purpose but also adds an element of playfulness and creativity to the living space.

Recognized for its outstanding expertise and innovation, Mäss was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2013. This prestigious accolade is a testament to the design's remarkable level of excellence, technical characteristics, and artistic skill. Mäss showcases the ability of design to evoke positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.

With its transformable nature and unique design, Mäss offers a fresh perspective on modular seating solutions. Claudio Sibille's creation brings together functionality, versatility, and a touch of playfulness, making it a standout piece in any contemporary living space.
