Tilda Collection: Built to Sink Into
Two things are happening to the living room. Hard corners are softening into curves, and cold grey is warming into clay, caramel, and cream. Tilda answers to both at once: a collection without a straight line anywhere on it, offered in two fabrics drawn straight from the palette the year has settled on.
No Straight Lines
Tilda is drawn as a single soft form. The arm rolls into the back, the back into the seat, and the corners are rounded off, so the whole piece reads as one continuous curve rather than a box with cushions on it. The curve is no longer a flourish but the way seating is drawn now, and there is sense in it beyond fashion: a rounded sofa holds its space more gently than a square one, easing an open-plan room where a boxier piece would carve it up.
It runs from a single armchair through a two-seater to a four-seater, all in the same soft language, so a room might take one chair or the whole set and never break its line.
Deep, and Low
The seat is 99 cm deep and sits low to the floor. That is a good deal deeper than most, and it sets the terms for how you sit: Tilda is made to be climbed into, feet up, rather than perched on at the edge. It belongs to the unhurried end of an evening, a film, a book, a Sunday afternoon that goes nowhere in particular.

"Tilda is for a home where people sit down and stay a while. It is deep and it is low, so you get right into it rather than sit on the edge of it. That makes it a sofa for the rooms a family actually lives in, where no one is rushing the evening along."
Two Fabrics, Two Rooms
The same shape comes two ways, and they make two different pieces.
In a pale, sand-toned linen, Tilda recedes. The weave is matt and close, the colour close to cream, and the sofa settles into a neutral scheme rather than leading it, the choice for a room already rich in texture and tone, where the seating is meant to hold its peace.
In a deep ochre chenille, it does the reverse. The pile is soft and catches the light along its length, the colour warm and golden, and the sofa becomes the first thing the eye finds on entering. This is the one for a room built around a warm centre, in the caramel-ochre the year keeps returning to.
Both are built the same way underneath: a plywood frame, a dense foam and down-fibre fill that holds the deep seat without collapsing into it.
