Repose是一个真正独特而美丽的沙发。OKHA设计它的目的是为了从每一个高度都加强了独特的形状，使其瞬间标志性和完美补充我们的设计理念。这就是我们想独家代理它的原因。
“Repose is a truly unique and beautiful sofa. OKHA has designed it to be viewed from
every elevation to enhance the distinct shape which makes it instantly iconic and perfectly
complements our design philosophy. This is why we wanted to exclusively represent it.”

Repose来自一个室内设计项目，一个海滨别墅，OKHA为其定制家具。从一开始，创意总监Adam Court就知道他想要的主要座位是一个高度雕刻的形式，可以保持和固定空间，并成为室内设计的主导。开放式的生活空间有着复杂的比例，阻碍了自然的运动循环;在平面图上画一个有机的形状是解决这些问题的最好方法。因此，静止的曲率是这种流体和适应性的方法的产物，通过融入环境和利用限制性的参数来寻找一种新的美学。一旦建立了静止的形状，其余的设计过程是直观的，并受这个最初的自由形式和有机形状的指导。沙发的曲线和感性的线条因此指导了项目室内设计概念的演变。
Repose came about via an interior design project, a coastal villa for which OKHA created bespoke furniture. From the outset, Creative Director Adam Court knew he wanted the main seating to be a highly sculpted form that would hold and anchor the space and be the design lead for the interior. The open plan living space had complicated proportions that prohibited a natural circulation of movement; drawing an organic shape on the floor plan was the best way to solve these problems. The curvature of Repose is, therefore, a product of this fluid and adaptable approach to finding a design solution by engaging with context and utilising restrictive parameters to find a new aesthetic. Once the Repose shape was established, the rest of the design process was intuitive and guided by this initial free form, organic shape. The curves and sensual lines of the sofa thus directed the evolution of the interior design concept of the project.

从这样一个非系统的、非线性的、不规则的有机形式中创造出一个三维的形式是一个复杂的过程。OKHA将木制框架作为一件雕塑，解决了工程的进展;工厂花费了大量的时间来指导和发展建筑，从木材阶段到广泛的泡沫造型和建模。

Creating a three-dimensional form out of such a non-systematic, non-linear and irregular organic form was a complex process. OKHA constructed the wooden frame as a piece of sculpture, resolving the engineering as they progressed; an enormous amount of time was spent in the factory guiding and evolving the construction from the timber stages through to the extensive foam shaping and modelling.

Creative Director Adam Court says that “Creating the Repose was a very gratifying process for me as a designer as I come from a fine art background and sculpture was one of my passions, given that and the fact that I have no formal design training or CAD skills (I draw everything by hand and build models), the end result was very satisfying (as we all know it is not always). The concept that had for some time been germinating in my head, had managed to be transmitted from a mental concept, through to drawings and then workshopped into a full-scale physical form without losing any of its original intent.

Aside from its physical, visual features, which I find sensual, feminine and very human, the sofa is well conceived in terms of ergonomics and practicality; it comes in five different size formats with attached and detached ottomans making it a pliable sofa system as well as a beautifully sculpted, landscape form.

I believe the greatest success of the design is how it immediately provokes an emotional and visceral response from the viewer, I believe that all good design must function on multiple levels and responding emotively, in a human to human way, which is one of the design principles I try and build into my work.”
A sensual, serene, surreal landscape sculpted into seating design. With feminine contours and seductive lines, the Repose sofa stretches out like a languid form in recline. Adam describes how he was “drawing something freehand, loose and fluid and not thinking about the end result and where it was heading, the shape created itself, then I coerced into something you rest and recline on. That way of drawing is intuitive and without any predestination, when an interesting form appears you seize it and work with it”
