Kobo High Back 3-Seater Sofa

The Kobo High Back 3-Seater Sofa by Stephane De Winter marries sculptural hand-woven rope with a welded aluminium frame, creating a statement of technical artistry and enduring comfort.

Technical Mastery Meets Timeless Design

The Kobo High Back 3-Seater Sofa represents a convergence of meticulous craft and architectural vision. Designed by Stephane De Winter, this piece transforms the traditional outdoor sofa into an object of technical complexity and refined beauty. At its core lies a welded aluminium frame, engineered for structural integrity and longevity, then enveloped entirely in hand-woven rope that traces the sofa’s elegant contours with precision and care.

Hand-Woven Rope Construction

Every inch of the Kobo sofa’s structure is defined by rope, meticulously woven by hand around the aluminium skeleton. This labour-intensive process creates a continuous surface that is both visually striking and remarkably durable. The rope weaving technique allows for fluid, curved lines that soften the geometry of the frame while maintaining the sofa’s sculptural presence. Available in two refined finishes, anthracite and pepper, the rope exterior adapts to diverse outdoor settings with quiet sophistication.

Comfort Without Compromise

Beneath the technical exterior lies deep, plush seating designed for extended relaxation. The high back provides generous support, creating an enveloping sense of comfort that invites lingering conversation and repose. The three-seater configuration offers ample space without sacrificing the sofa’s considered proportions. This marriage of curved lines and substantial cushioning ensures that visual elegance never comes at the expense of physical ease.

Enduring Outdoor Performance

The Kobo collection is engineered for the demands of outdoor living. The welded aluminium frame resists corrosion and weathering, while the hand-woven rope structure maintains its integrity across seasons. Optional protective covers are available to extend the life of the sofa during periods of non-use, ensuring that this investment in outdoor luxury endures for years to come.

A Statement of Restraint

Timeless in its aesthetic, the Kobo High Back 3-Seater Sofa eschews trend in favour of enduring design principles. Its curved silhouette and textural depth create visual interest without excess, making it equally suited to contemporary terraces, poolside settings, and garden retreats. This is furniture that commands attention through craft rather than ostentation.
