Sarah Ellison Float sofa
Australian designer Sarah Ellison took inspiration from 1970s conversation pits to create a supremely lounge-y new sofa in the tradition of Patricia Urquiola and Pierre Paulin. It’s a contemporary update to an old concept that delivers extra-plush comfort thanks to its soft, deep seats and gently sloping armrests. Plus, Ellison specifically developed a homey and luxurious shade of chocolate brown just for this collection.
