Three autumn velvets for the Club 89, made to order in Dubai. One module, composed as an armchair, a loveseat or a three seater.
Every autumn a sofa collection is reissued in new colours, and most of the time the colour is the only thing that changed. Club 89 works the other way round. The module has not moved since the first drawing: a padded block a hundred centimetres square, a low profile, a backrest of thick vertical segments, and a centre element with no arms at all. What we change each season is the cloth, chosen for the light that Dubai actually has from November to March. This year that gives four colourways: Nocturne, Moss, Pivoine, and the Chataigne that never left. Read how the room chooses the sofa, or begin through our design services.
A modular sofa is one decision, taken three times.
Armchair, loveseat, three seater. Same module, same cloth, same line.
Club 89 is built from one element, a hundred centimetres by a hundred, seventy six high, with a seat at approximately forty. Used alone with its arm it is an armchair. Two side by side make a loveseat. Three in a row, with the armless module in the centre, make a continuous three seater with no break in the backrest. The ottoman is the same block without a back, and it slides in front of any composition or stands on its own.
Because every configuration is the same module repeated, the colour holds across the whole composition. A three seater in Moss is three identical blocks in one cloth, cut from one bolt, so there is no variation between the modules. This is also why a client can start with one armchair this autumn and add two modules next year: the cloth is held on file and the module has not changed.
The frame is solid hardwood. The seat is a multi density foam layering, firmer at the base and softer at the surface, so the block keeps its shape under daily use and still reads as inviting. The velvets are performance cloths, with the rated performance stated to you in writing before the order is confirmed. OEKO-TEX® 100 where the certificate is available for the chosen cloth.
