Meaning “embrace” in Japanese, Hoyo is a modular sofa designed by Francesco Rota. Each individual module features a plush seat cushion and backrest cradled or “embraced” by a curved wooden frame. Francesco‘s design is based on a precise and rational approach that makes formal cleanliness its distinctive feature, reducing elements to their essentials for maximum visual impact. The ends of the wooden runners have been designed and tooled with a 3D-machined cylindrical section to open up the possibility of connecting multiple modules together, providing a recognizable solution of continuity.
