British designer Tom Dixon is inviting the commonplace sofa back to the forefront of our living spaces with two modern designs: Plump and Fat.

To some, ?plump? and ?fat? might seem like unconventional names for sofas, but at this year?s London Design Festival 2024, they represent the latest innovations from British designer Tom Dixon. With Plump and Fat, Dixon reimagined the everyday sofa, adapting it to the dynamic needs of modern living.
Plump Sofa
Dixon observes: ?We have witnessed an almost invisible revolution taking place in living rooms, lobbies, and lounges. Where previous generations gathered around a single focal point ? be it the fireplace, television, or radio ? we now find ourselves in increasingly deconstructed communal situations. Social media, wireless technology, and even the pandemic have transformed our spaces, where couches and sofas have taken on a central, omnidirectional role as platforms for slouching, working, shopping, and entertainment.?

To address this shift, Dixon?s vision for the sofa transcends its traditional role, inviting it back to the forefront of our living spaces. ?Sofas must evolve to reflect and enhance our changing behaviors. It’s time they moved away from the corners and walls and became platforms for individuality, greater flexibility, and occasionally, unexpected uses,? he explains.
