What do Nomads Know About Comfort?!




The Dubai based design studio, "Traffic," have created a new collection of sofas inspired by nomadic Bedouin furniture. The pieces are made up of stacked "mattress like" layers made of different materials, and consisting of differing designs and thicknesses. The sofas are held together by cords that go through the layers and hold it together in the desired configuration. The simplicity of the pieces, as well as the highly unique and customizable features, make it an interesting and playful design with a rich history. The different colors, fabrics, and designs are a reflection of the random availability to nomadic cultures throughout the Middle East, and gives the collection a more inspired feel. The "Bidoun" collection is the first collection by the Traffic studio and is planned to go into limited production within the near future.
