OFFICINA SOFA
OFFICINA SOFA
Designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, 2017
Forging, the process used to shape iron, pressing it between the hammer and anvil, has a history that stretches back over millennia.
Throughout the ages, this technique has been used to create an infinite number of everyday objects and decorative artefacts.
The Officina collection explores the possibility of establishing a new creative language while working with an ancient fabrication process such as iron forging.
DESIGNERS
RONAN & ERWAN BOUROULLEC
Ronan Bouroullec (born in 1971) and Erwan Bouroullec (born in 1976) have been working together for more than twenty years now.
Their collaboration is a permanent dialogue, nourished by their distinct personalities and a shared notion of diligence, with the intention to achieve greater balance and refinement.
In 1997, they presented their Disintegrated Kitchen at the Salon du Meuble in Paris, where it was spotted by Giulio Cappellini, who gave them their first industrial design commissions.
The Bouroullecs have been working with Magis since 2004, designing three complete furniture collections – Striped, Steelwood and Officina – as well as additional projects such as Pila chair, Pilo table, Central and Tambour tables.
These days, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec design for numerous manufacturers, including Magis, Vitra, Kvadrat, Kartell, Established and Sons, Ligne Roset, Axor, Alessi, Issey Miyake, Cappellini, Mattiazzi, Flos, Mutina, Hay and more recently Glas Italia and Iittala.
They also continue to carry out their own experimental activity which is essential to the development of their work at Galerie kreo, Paris, where four exhibitions of their designs were held between 2001 and 2012. They also embark on occasional architectural projects.
Voted Designers of the Year at the Salon du Meuble in 2002, their other awards include the Compasso d’Oro won in 2011 for the Steelwood chair they designed for Magis.
Several exhibitions have been devoted to their work. In 2012, Phaidon Press published Works, a comprehensive monographic book about Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.
Previously, two other monographs had been published about the Bouroullec brothers’ design work: Ronan et Erwan Bouroullec – Catalogue de Raison (Paris: Images Modernes / kreo, 2002) and Ronan et Erwan Bouroullec (Paris: Phaidon Press, 2003).

We suggest to protect against bad weather conditions the versions in ash, as they are not recommended for outdoor use unless under cover. Do not use different cleaning products from the ones mentioned above. Do not use the product in an improper way. Do not place hot objects on it, stand on it or use the product as a ladder. Once disused, please make sure that this item is disposed of in an environmentally-friendly way.
PRODUCT CARE
We recommend using a soft rag, either dry or wet. When needed, use ph-balanced soap diluted in water. Do not use abrasive sponges as they may leave scratches.
For tops in wood, we recommend using ph-balanced liquid soap especially formulated for wood, diluted in water. For tops in marble, please avoid using acid products. In case of contact of any acid substance with the marble surface, please remove it immediately.
We recommend using water and Marseilles soap for marble cleaning. To remove greasy substances and various stains it is possible to use ammoniacs, denatured alcohol, bicarbonate and hydrogen per-oxide.If you want to keep the original slate colour, you have to use a treating solution for slate every 3/6 months.
If slate is kept inside the use of this treating solution is optional. Before using the treating solution, clean the surface with a damp cloth and if needed, a neutral soap. If persistent stains still remain, clean the tabletop with acetone and allow to dry. To remove scratches caused by a standard use of the top, rub the surface with a damp leather cloth.
If slate is seriously scratched, it can be restored as follows: the damaged surface can be wiped with a plastic spongue, softly, to avoid damaging the natural roughness; deep scratches can be rubbed with a piece of rough sand paper first and then with a finer sand paper till the surface become more uniform.
Any marks, signs or irregularities that may be visible on the stone tops are peculiarities of the materials and should not be considered as faults. Periodic and correct maintenance allows the product to keep its original aspect and lengthens the duration of its performance.
