The Soft Stone sofa comprises 11 different modules and is based on the staggered stone terraces in Porto's Parque da Cidade as well as the work of American sculptor Isamu Noguchi.
Tan aimed to imbue each module with a balance of softness and geometry: 'I wanted to capture the feeling of resting on something soft yet architectural.'
