OBJECT NOTES
The piece, in full.
Span is composed from three seat volumes and one continuous back, each with enough separation to remain legible. The sofa sits on a blackened-ash plinth recessed from every edge, producing a long horizontal shadow.
The arms are narrow and firm, preserving internal width. Feather-and-wool upper pads temper the resilient foam core without creating a casual, overfilled profile.
Covers are individually removable and the modules separate for access, repair, and future reconfiguration.

PRODUCTION METHOD

Each wool cover is cut, matched, topstitched, and fitted as a replaceable panel before the final alignment inspection.
