WOVEN STRUCTURE — BRAID SOFA 3 SEAT / OAK

The Braid Sofa is designed by Norm Architects for the Japanese furniture brand Ariake. Its defining feature is a distinctive woven braid construction — a structural and aesthetic expression that references traditional Japanese craft while achieving a thoroughly contemporary form. The three-seat version is the full expression of the Braid family — a generous, statement sofa with a strong sculptural presence. The oak frame provides warmth and material depth, grounding the woven seat in natural tones that complement a wide range of interior palettes.
