Brick Sofa

KiBiSi Jot Jot Brick Sofa

“What is a sofa but a pile of pillows for maximum comfort? Turning the habitual modularity of sofa design into a virtue, the Brick explores the tectonic of bricklaying to stack sandbag-like cushions into architecture for comfort.”

The Brick Sofa by KiBiSi spins classic mortar and brick architectural form. Being a fan of architecture, it’s nice to see designers gather influence from mundane items. The Brick Sofa is as apparent as they come. It utilizes classic brick laying form as the overall structure thus creating a perfectly proportional sofa. To top it off, the cushions are tied together and fixed with a tailored button. The button, one of our favorite features, is molded from fiber concrete with a fabulous 6mm blue polyester rope. Everything about this couch leads back to its architecture roots giving it a pure and simple ever-lasting quality.

Architecture for comfort

The Brick series for jot.jot consists of a chair and a pouffe, as well as both a two- and three-seater sofa. KiBiSi set out to make a sofa with strong architectural references, since KiBiSi partner Bjarke Ingels couldn’t find the right architect’s sofa for his apartment. The point of departure was a classic brick bond forming the cushion pattern. The cushions are tied together and fixed with a tailor-quality button. The button, also designed by KiBiSi, is molded from fiber concrete as yet another architectural reference.
