Inspired by Vladimir Tatlin's “Monument to the Third International,” the sofa features a sculptural, spiral-shaped structure that radiates dynamism and movement. It looks like a work of art that is integrated into the room and at the same time offers a practical seating area. The design reflects the influence of the Memphis style, a movement founded in the 1980s by Ettore Sottsass that gained worldwide fame for its bold color choices, geometric shapes and postmodern approach.

The “Tatlin” sofa takes these features and translates them into a modern, timeless form. The bold colors – red, blue, yellow and green – are not only visually striking, but also create a positive, energetic atmosphere. The sofa's round base, padded for comfort, contrasts with the spiral backrest, which gives a feeling of upward movement and lightness. This design piece breaks traditional sofa concepts and becomes a central element in any room. It is ideal for bold interiors that want to express creativity and individuality.

The “Tatlin” sofa is not just a piece of furniture, but a statement that embodies the spirit of Memphis style: the freedom to question convention and combine function with artistic expression. It appeals to people who see interior design as a form of personal and cultural self-expression.
