Rebuilding Switzerland, with Terrazza Two ingeniously designed sofa elements are the great basis for one’s own and personal interpretation of interior design and furnishing concept. The individual element is reminiscent of a terrace-like, stepped slope with different widths and depths. As in the case of the interiors of the Pop Art generation, all it takes is a single building block each on the “left” and “right” to create an inviting 2-seater sofa, a seating pyramid or a little mountain range of sofas. Swiss star architects Herzog & de Meuron had a vineyard in mind when they built the concert hall of the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie. The terraces of the Swiss vineyards had also inspired designer Ubald Klug 40 years earlier. On rectangular baseplates reminiscent of the terraces of the vineyards, he built multilayered upholstered reliefs that invite a person to sit or lie down. He assembled the various elements into actual seating landscapes. The analogy to the terraced cultural landscape, the terrazza, cannot be overlooked. Mick Jagger’s enthusiasm for the sofa shows how Klug’s approach had struck the nerve of the day. The curvilinear, scrunched upholstered bodies have all the characteristics of a home decor that was prevalent in young group living arrangements at the time – and continues to this day!
