The Gogan sofa takes its name from nature and in particular from Japanese stones rendered smooth by time and water. This is the name given to the Japanese stones placed to protect and embellish the banks of rivers and lakes.

Just like in rock sculptures, where stones maintain their balance by being carefully positioned and interlocked, it is the shape that maintains the balance between the elements on the Gogan sofa, which is not overly regular. By playing around with gravity and balance, we can make normally heavy shapes lightweight.
