500kg seating system for SpHaus
We thought ‘500 KG’ was an appropriate name for a couch that looks rock solid and heavy – but in fact with it’s 20 KG falls in category with the feather weights. Despite its heavy looks 500 KG fits the modern, minimalistic and elegant interior. The modularity allows you to configure the couch as you wish.

design concept
The 500kg seating system is based on 5 elements (a chair, a footstool and three armrests) which can create a wide variety of compositions when put together: an armchair, a chaise-longue, a straight or corner sofa of any size.
The detail that makes this system unique is structural: the elements are made of high density expanded polyurethane, covered with polyurethanic foam and then with a removable fabric upholstery.
The result is an ultra-light product: one person can easily take it apart and put it back together with ease.
