The Bouki Sofa is named after the Bouba-Kiki effect, a psychological phenomenon that explores how humans associate rounded shapes with softness (bouba) and angular shapes with sharpness or rigidity (kiki). This concept is central to the sofa’s design philosophy.
Bouki’s unique aesthetic lies in the contrast between its outer and inner forms:
- The outer shell of the sofa — including the back and armrests — features clean lines and a rigid, structured silhouette, conveying modern sophistication and geometric clarity.
- In contrast, the inner cushions are soft, rounded, and inviting, offering a warm, plush seating experience that complements its sleek frame.
This thoughtful juxtaposition of form and texture makes Bouki more than just a luxury modern sofa — it’s a design conversation piece that reflects the balance between visual tension and everyday comfort.
