Float Sofa by Karim Rashid for Sancal

May 10, 2012 | Home Couture Store

Designer Karim Rashid presented Float, his collection of fun looking sofas for Spanish furniture company Sancal at this year’s Salone del Mobile in Milan.

Float is a range of sofas with modular arm and head rest pieces. They come with three different backs that can be upholstered in one colour or in a combination of fabrics from the collection called Cairo that Karim Rashid designed especially for Sancal. Inspired by Rashid’s birthplace in Egypt.

Float is a contemporary couch designed for multiple purposes. This slim floating seat with incorporated back wall provides complete privacy in open spaces, to rest back on, hang one’s scarf or coat on or simply wait in the secluded area given by its high back.

One of the main characteristics of Karim’s designs is their colourful combinations, which at first sight seem not possible. Sancal products, on the other hand, are less vibrant. Float offers the perfect balance, as we have granted greater relevance to the textures and reserved the touches of colour for smaller detail such as the headrest or cushions.

Float sofa is available in 3 different size combinations.
