The comfort of the relax sofa, now in a more compact size.

The mini relax sofa was created in response to customers who loved the original but found it too large for their space or difficult to bring into their homes.

Our greatest focus was preserving the same level of comfort. We carefully refined every curve and angle affected by the smaller proportions, creating numerous prototypes until we achieved the right balance of comfort and beauty.

A sofa for those who have always loved the relax sofa but needed a more compact option.

Designer's Story

The regular model was designed with a wider seat for a larger frame. This compact version is 150 mm narrower, making it more comfortable for smaller people.

I thought it would be a simple matter of resizing it, but getting the back curve and the balance between width and height just right was much harder than expected. I ended up remaking it several times.

But that made the moment when I finally thought, “Yes, this is it!” all the more rewarding.
