Softline | Conga

Inspired by congas, the drums used to play Afro-Cuban music. The Conga pouf by Sofline has a dual function

To develop design objects that respond to the constantly evolving needs of clients has always been the mission of Softline, an upholstered furniture company founded in Denmark in 1979. The philosophy of creating furnishings that can be combined in various configurations and have different functions can also be seen in Conga pouf.

This is an ottoman with a cylindrical, rounded form, whose upper portion is occupied by a wooden tray. It can thus be transformed from a practical table for the living area to an extra place for guests, simply by removing the upper tray. Available in different sizes and heights, it can adapt to all settings. Thanks to a program of sustainability and high quality, generating products that last in time and are made with sustainable methods in line with international standards, Conga pouf has won the Green Good Design Award 2022.
