The Geometry of Togetherness

May 15 – May 15, 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM

A sofa isn’t just a place of comfort. It’s a place that invites conversation, reconciliation and togetherness. The sofa is one of the most desired, emotionally resonant and debated pieces of furniture in our home. In a world where loneliness and disconnection continues to rise, reimagining the archetype of the sofa is essential. In conversation on Vitra’s Anagram Sofa by Panter&Tourron, Alexis Tourron and Georgina McDonald discuss the future responsibility of this beloved form, and why empathetic and flexible design – one that encourages play and connectedness – is more important than ever before. Thursday May 15th Doors 5:30pm Talk 6pm Hosting afterwards
