The square sofa system
Meet RUT, a square sofa system. Causal and inviting or sober and formal. RUT seems like
a familiar acquaintance but is a completely new companion. Optimal solution for a relaxed
space in one direction: perfect for reading a book, surfing the web, having a meeting, chat-
ting with friends. RUT is all about flexibility and will favor slowness and long-lasting comfort as
well as allowing for occasional seating. Build a long straight sofa with armrests, writing pads
and electricity or adapt it open and inviting with as few additions as possible. Double the
width with a causal side to nestle in, and a stricter front for a short stay on the go. Compose
and rearrange according to functional and aesthetic needs. RUT offers an elegant contrast
between soft, comfortable and generous seating modules, and a robust exposed linear base
made of a steel H-beam resting on two or more solid oak blocks. Assemble as many squares
as needed. Turn them to the right, to the left or all the way around to offer different seating
options, secure with two bolts. RUT supersoft contract areas to serious working or hospitality
areas. All existing parts can be rearranged and everything you want to add you can be do
later.
