SoMod sofa is the latest modular lounge collection created by the German designers jehs+laub for Davis Furniture, inspired by the smooth, organic forms of jehs+laub’s successful Soft Lounge series featuring sculptured edges and continuous sweeping lines.
The project has been awarded a 2021 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
When asked about SoMod, jehs+laub said, “We wanted to expand upon the sinuous forms that we established with the Soft Lounge and Soft Privacy series and take it to a modular level.”
Bringing a casual comfort to its tailored silhouette, SoMod prioritizes relaxed lounging through a low profile and generous seat depth.
This modular lounge’s modest collection of seating elements includes backed, backless, and arm pieces that gang together to connect in a limitless anthology of designs.
Jehs+laub took great care in establishing the perfect level of comfort in this series.
“In commercial interiors, designers are oftentimes forced to choose between comfort, function, and form SoMod is based on the concept of form and function working together harmoniously and without compromise.”
SoMod’s limitless anthology of designs is established through its modest collection of seating elements including backed, backless, and armed pieces.
Benching units are also available with optional integrated laptop tablets which, when specified, appear to hover between units.
Each tangible unit rests on an inset plinth base that raises the lounge off the floor, giving each finished piece a floating visual that creates a striking contrast to its bold, monolithic design.
SoMod provides an endless variety of furnishing opportunities. Ranging from classic sofas to large-scale modular benching and lounge configurations, this collection creates sleek yet remarkably comfortable spaces within lounge areas, open offices, and casual interiors.
