This sofa uses the the traditional textiles and applies them to a different environment. Conventionally the heritage prints are used for fabrics applied to the body in the form of clothes and decorative wear. Applying the materials to soft furnishings allows the prints to become an integral part of the home environment, changing how they are used and interacted with.

The sofa is constructed from lengths of fabric that use the traditional, local technique of batik. The fabric is dyed three times in home-grown, organic, indigo dye vats. The print has been co-designed by the villagers and The Fabrick Lab, drawing inspiration from traditional Guizhou heritage motifs. The textiles for the cushions are also woven by the local artisans of the region. The textiles are applied to solid walnut structure and finished with angular brass legs, designed by The Fabrick Lab.
