Milan 2014: cushions scattered on the Nubilo sofa by French designer Constance Guisset look like a collection of giant pebbles (+ slideshow).

Constance Guisset designed the Nubilo sofa for French brand Petite Friture, with round cushions in different sizes and colours that can be rearranged to optimise comfort.

“Nubilo is a sofa made of several round and organic cushions that can be arranged to maximise cosiness,” said Guisset.

The cushions rest against a gently curving back of upholstered foam, which surrounds one side of the elliptical seat.

Coloured fabric covers and the imagination of the sitter can transform the grey pebble-shaped cushions into other objects and create different settings.

“It becomes the place where dreams take the occupant, a springboard to imagination and musing,” said the designer. “Either a cloud, balloons, a sea, anemone, an algae, pebbles…”

The sofa is fully upholstered, with the back and seat available in different shades. It was exhibited on Petite Friture’s stand at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan, which concluded on Sunday.
