A true statement piece, the Mumba features a fascinating composition of generously rounded, almost floating forms that flow seamlessly into one another. Its asymmetrical design, voluptuous curves and low-slung profile create a striking sculptural presence, blurring the boundaries between furniture and contemporary art.

Beautifully designed from every angle, the sofa reveals a different silhouette depending on the viewpoint, making it particularly suitable for placement in the centre of a room, where its remarkable form can be fully appreciated.

The sofa has been professionally reupholstered in an exquisite, high-quality textile from the collaboration between renowned Antwerp-based interior designer Dieter Vander Velpen and ZINC Textile. The luxurious fabric features an intricate, almost geological pattern of flowing lines and organic formations, combining warm ochre, muted olive, earthy brown and subtle charcoal tones.

The rich texture and layered colour palette beautifully complement the sofa's sculptural character, accentuating its curves while introducing a sophisticated sense of depth and movement. The result is a remarkable interplay between shape, texture and pattern, giving this already distinctive design an entirely new identity.

An extraordinary piece of contemporary collectible design, combining playful experimentation with luxurious materials and exceptional visual impact. Both a comfortable seating arrangement and a sculptural centrepiece, the Mumba brings a unique architectural and artistic presence to any interior.
