This Sofa Looks Like Stone Boulders But Feels Like Clouds - Yanko Design

"There's something beautifully contradictory about furniture that looks hard as stone but promises cloud-like comfort. That's exactly what Mudu Studio has achieved with the Rokko Sofa, a design concept that takes inspiration from massive geological formations and transforms them into something you'd actually want to sink into after a long day. Look at the Rokko series and you'll immediately see the resemblance to smooth river stones or ancient boulders shaped by centuries of wind and water."

"The frame options are where things get really interesting. The main collection features processed aluminum bases that are remarkably slender and airy. It's almost like the massive cushions are floating, held aloft by these delicate metal structures. The visual lightness of the aluminum creates this wonderful illusion of defying gravity. You've got these boulder-sized forms that appear to hover just above the ground, supported by what looks like nothing more than bent wire (though obviously it's engineered to be far sturdier than that)."

Rokko Sofa translates the shapes of smooth river stones and ancient boulders into generously upholstered, sculptural cushions that convey visual monumentality while delivering soft, cloud-like comfort. The design relies on a deliberate tension between apparent solidity and actual physical softness to create inviting seating that encourages lingering. Scale is bold and voluminous, with each cushion reading as a distinct sculptural element that does not overwhelm interiors. Base options balance the presence: processed aluminum frames produce an airy, floating illusion, while a stainless-steel wrapped podium base provides a more grounded, refined solidity.
