Leshi is a sofa developed from the image of a protective natural shelter.
Its form refers to the archetype of a forest hideaway: low, soft, enclosed, and slightly withdrawn from the surrounding space.
The sofa is not based on decoration or direct folklore references. Its character comes from proportion, volume, and the tactile surface. The rounded body creates a sense of protection, while the deep seat invites the user to rest inside the form rather than simply sit on it.
Leshi works as both a functional sofa and an emotional object. It brings the feeling of retreat, softness, and groundedness into a contemporary interior.
