TAHITI – Design of a circular sofa

Tahiti, design of a circular sofa for Campo De’ Fiori by Joly Design, 2023.

The TAHITI sofa

TAHITI introduces the design of a circular sofa conceived to structure space with both flexibility and ease. Its open composition follows a radiant geometry that naturally brings people closer together. Each module traces a continuous and generous curve, creating a shared center around which the entire arrangement is built. This form redefines the living area as a welcoming zone, suitable for intimate moments or collective gatherings.

Radiating volumes and fluid outline

The structure relies on a balance between curved forms and a free spatial layout. Each seat radiates outward from an invisible central axis, reinforcing the model’s circular logic. Backrests and armrests are seamlessly integrated into a single flowing motion, offering a continuous and unified design. This visual cohesion enhances the enveloping effect of the sofa, while naturally inviting conversation and relaxation.

Modular flexibility and adaptable placement

Thanks to its modular system and weighted backrests, each element can be moved, rotated, or reconfigured with ease. This open structure allows TAHITI to adapt to various contexts—residential lounges, hotel lobbies, or event spaces. The circle becomes flexible, and the arrangement evolves to suit the moment. Together, the modules form a dynamic system that remains visually coherent at every scale.

Gathering comfort and warm presence

TAHITI is designed to bring people together. It transforms any setting into a space for spontaneous connection, free from hierarchy or constraint. The circular layout encourages everyone to settle in at their own rhythm, in direct connection with others. It evokes the feel of a sunlit camp, where comfort forms naturally around the shape. Here, the design of a circular sofa becomes a statement of hospitality, openness, and shared experience—crafted to support daily life with warmth and generosity.
