Dynamically occurring climate changes are forcing us to thoroughly reorganize our lives, to give up existing habits and habits. The need to evolve touches not only everyday life, but also architecture and design. So how can we design beautiful objects that are compatible with sustainable and ecological development? The Nobonobo brand, in cooperation with the Faculty of Design at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts, answers this question with a unique project called "The Future of the Upholstered Sofa."

This year, the Nobonobo brand, distinguished by its advanced design and high quality products for interiors, has partnered with the Design Studio, which is led by Dr. Tomek Rygalik at the Faculty of Design at the Academy of Fine Arts - one of Poland's most recognized designers, a man of many talents, a curator and a doctor of art. He collaborates with leading national and international brands, and carries out many projects for cultural institutions. Rygalik is an enthusiast who believes in the sense of the designer's participation in the process of fixing the world. That's why this year's project ran under the theme "The Future of the Upholstered Sofa." Its main objectives were to create an upholstered furniture that is environmentally friendly and to involve young designers in the process of responsible and ecological production and circular economy.
