APPLE Sofa – Mobilier de France

General Presentation 

The APPLE sofa by Mobilier de France offers a distinctive take on the enveloping silhouette, blending generous contours with a graphic structure shaped by thoughtful detailing. Its basket-like form feels open and fluid, yet it remains visually grounded thanks to the precise treatment of interior volumes. As a result, the design achieves a balance between comfort and proportion, while introducing a bold graphic language. Ideal for residential spaces seeking a recognizable yet understated aesthetic, APPLE stands out—without needing to shout.

Design & Finishes

What sets APPLE apart is its deliberately irregular visual rhythm, created by vertical gathers along the interior. Though asymmetrical, this motif feels intentional—like a jazz line that disrupts and resolves at once. Meanwhile, the exterior remains smooth and minimal, offering a clean contrast that highlights the graphic complexity within. This interplay of opposites strengthens the overall design language. Moreover, the basket-style seat lends structure without adding visual weight.

Comfort & Ergonomics

Every proportion has been fine-tuned to offer immediate visual ease. At the same time, a deep and balanced seat enhances the lounging experience. The enveloping shape supports a relaxed posture without restricting movement, making it ideal for extended use. In addition, the pillow-like cushions and careful volume distribution provide both comfort and stability. Importantly, the ergonomic design never detracts from the sofa’s graphic clarity.

Materials & Upholstery

To highlight the silhouette, the outer surface remains intentionally minimal. In contrast, the interior showcases subtle gathered detailing, revealed through select fabric textures or configurations. This tension between simplicity and detail introduces a nuanced visual layer—elevating both tactility and depth.

Configurations

APPLE comes in a variety of fixed formats. Regardless of the version, each configuration preserves the original intent: stable proportions, a controlled interior rhythm, and a unified, seamless envelope. Therefore, the design adapts elegantly to different spatial needs while maintaining its core identity.
