Surf Sofa by Molteni&C

By Dawson & Co.

Canadians George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg, all-round players in the world of architecture, design and graphics since 1980, have just designed Surf Sofa by Molteni&C, a modular sofa system, after making their debut with Dada, in 2006, with the futuristic Lisola design. 

Thanks to their experience in the hospitality field and in exploring the nature of organic forms well beyond any traditional approach, Yabu Pushelberg design seating, unfettered by the constrictions of excessive modularity and rich in unexpected details. Ideal for residential or hospitality projects, such as hotels or offices.

Seats all-one with the base, with rounded forms supporting snug, slightly protruding backrests, are the features that make Surf Sofa by Molteni&C a design that is not only ergonomically perfect but also visually appealing.

This excellent result is due to the use of differentiated polyurethane foam technology. Artfully designed rectilinear, chaise longue, corner and terminal elements, partially devoid of backrests, give rise to multiple compositions suitable for situations of all kinds, maintaining in each the freshness and originality of the design.

A wide choice of textiles and leathers, chosen from the Molteni&C collection, further enhance Surf’s uniqueness. Surf is also an elegant little “dumb waiter” table, from the marble base and the wooden top complete with a small handle for moving it easily, it is perfect for keeping anything within easy reach when ensconced in a comfy sofa.

For over 45 years the Dawson family and our wonderful staff have been filling homes with designer furniture sourced from New Zealand and abroad. We travel extensively, collaborating with our manufacturing partners to ensure we bring the best value product we can find. Our philosophy is simple - to showcase great quality, honest furniture from brilliant craftspeople in a welcoming environment. 

How do we achieve this?

We are extremely lucky to have fostered strong relationships with renowned international furniture brands and designers including Molteni & C, Timothy Oulton, Dedon and Tribu. Buying directly from international suppliers enables us to remove the added layers of costs and complexity so we can pass the savings on to the consumer.

What is great quality?

We believe it is a fine balance of design and materials. That is why prior to adding any product collections we meet the artisans in their workshops and factories anywhere they manufacture around the world, which involves us spending up to 3 months a year travelling to Asia and Europe. All too often we have been shown cheaper items but they turn out to be inferior. All our staff are highly trained professionals who can tell you about our furniture in detail.
