This modular sofa system embraces the open architecture of modern companies, buildings, and spaces. The Flatlands line features a sleek design and clean lines in the wooden base, the square seat cushions and the optional back cushions. A unique detail is the invisible fastening of the back cushions, which makes them appear to float. 'By flattening the design, we created a modular sofa system that does not block the lines of sight in a room,' says design duo Daphna Laurens. 'Not even the back cushions.'

Aluminium profile

Flatlands' best-kept secret is the powder-coated aluminium profile on the bottom, which is only visible when viewed from a distance. 'The challenge was to design a modular sofa system that rests on an existing aluminium extrusion profile,' according to Daphna Laurens. 'We started the design process by creating several possible directions and options. Some highlighted the profile while others concealed it.'

Configurations and models

The modular nature of the Flatlands line allows for endless configurations. Opt for a corner unit, a straight sofa, or create the Flatlands sofa in the shape of a Letter (I, L, O, Z, U and E). Flatlands configurations are available in all fabrics, Lande stain colours, and laminated Lande top layers. Add backrest or leave it entirely open to stimulate conversation. Flatlands has an optional raised table top with storage space underneath.

Flatlands is designed by Dutch design duo Daphna Laurens.
