REPUBLIC OF II BY IV is pleased to introduce the Sofi Collection, an innovative line of outdoor furniture debuting at Feria Hábitat València 2024 in collaboration with OISIDE. This collection exemplifies the firm’s dedication to harmonizing natural forms with sophisticated design. The Sofi Collection will be showcased at N3 – P2 | Stand E11 from September 30 to October 3, 2024.

Inspired by nature, designed for outdoor living

The Sofi Collection features four essential pieces: a sofa, lounge chair, coffee table, and side table. Each piece embraces an organic design aesthetic, with soft curves and flowing lines reminiscent of botanical landscapes. The collection's blend of Iroko wood, a robust aluminium frame, and weather-resistant upholstery ensures it integrates seamlessly into a variety of outdoor environments, from modern terraces to lush gardens.

The design process for the Sofi Collection began with the sofa's sculpted silhouette, which became the foundation for the entire collection. Through collaboration with OISIDE, the line expanded to include complementary lounge seating and tables, all maintaining the same design principles of fluidity and natural inspiration.

Organic form, refined craftsmanship

Sofi is a testament to the design team’s commitment to craftsmanship and thoughtful design. The pronounced curves in both the upholstered components and wooden bases resemble the organic shapes of the natural world. These details are particularly prominent in the Iroko wood bases and the softly rounded edges of the upholstery and porcelain tabletops.

While the sofas evoke solidity and durability, reminiscent of natural rock formations, the design of the tables introduces a lighter, plant-like expressiveness. Together, these elements reflect a landscape-inspired composition, translating the beauty of nature into a contemporary furniture collection.

"The essence of the Sofi Collection lies in its simplicity and its dialogue with nature," says Keith Rushbrook, co-founder of REPUBLIC OF II BY IV. "We wanted to create pieces that blur the line between design and the natural environment, offering an effortless outdoor living experience."

Designed for grand outdoor spaces

Celebrated for its substantial proportions and luxurious comfort, the Sofi Collection is ideal for large, open outdoor areas. The voluminous shapes of the seating, combined with the natural textures of the wood and upholstery, allow the bold pieces to stand out in grand spaces. While the comfort of these pieces resembles indoor furniture, the collection is constructed with materials selected for their durability and performance in outdoor conditions.

The Sofi Collection will be on display at N3 – P2 | Stand E11 at Feria Hábitat València 2024 from September 30 to October 3, 2024.
