Modular Sofa System<\/h5>

\u00a0<\/p>

Macaron collection is more than furniture; it is a flexible, adaptive place to stay. This collaboration between Mecanoo<\/strong> and bert plantagie<\/strong> brings architectural thinking and furniture craftsmanship together into a shared design process, resulting in a layered modular sofa system designed for versatile living. True to its name, the system is engineered as a functional “macaron,” defined by the physical layering of the base at the bottom, the seat, and the backrest.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Rather than a fixed object, Macaron is a modular system that can be combined in many configurations and orientations. This allows users to create spatial \u201cscenes\u201d tailored to their environment: intimate islands for focus, social clusters for collaboration, or zig-zag layouts that guide movement through a room.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Developed through user-based activity studies, Macaron responds to real human behaviour. By analysing how people move, meet, work, and relax, each module was designed to support different ways of using a space\u2014from quiet concentration to social interaction\u2014across offices, hospitality settings, and educational environments.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The system\u2019s modularity also supports sustainability. As an adaptable infrastructure, Macaron can be reconfigured over time, reducing the need for replacement and enabling long-term use. With a natural material palette of walnut or oak plinths and high-quality fabrics, it forms a flexible and timeless spatial landscape.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
