Stoneflow Sofa
Milan Design Week 2025
Our passion for furniture and custom pieces has always been integral to the spaces we design. We frequently craft bespoke furniture to add a unique touch, enhancing the individuality and character of each project. Our approach to design is deeply humanistic; we believe that architecture is an emotional and spatial experience shaped by both the user and the creator.
“Nature’s beauty is timeless, and we aimed to encapsulate that quality in a piece that invites relaxation and reflection.”
— Lorène Faure, co-founder of Bean Buro
The Stoneflow Sofa is a true embodiment of our design philosophy, showcasing a harmonious blend of organic beauty and contemporary style. The design draws inspiration from the fluid forms found in nature, specifically the smooth, rounded shapes of river stones. These elements combine to create a piece that invites relaxation and promotes a sense of tranquillity in any living space.
The Stoneflow Sofa showcases soft, inviting curves that cradle the body for a comfortable seating experience. The armrests and backrests converge, creating a harmonious embrace above the seat and evoking a sense of weightlessness, as if they are floating and barely touching. The intentional design enhances the visual appeal and fosters feelings of peace and serenity. This aesthetic choice not only serves the functional purpose of comfort but also transforms the sofa into a sculptural piece that elevates the look of any room.
A Play of Materiality
In selecting materials for the Stoneflow Sofa, we have prioritised those that are natural, comfortable, and environmentally friendly. The juxtaposition of the soft fabric and the grounding nature of the marble legs creates a striking contrast that enhances the overall design. The legs evoke polished pebbles found along tranquil shorelines, anchoring the piece in nature while adding a touch of elegance.
These marble legs can be customised, offering versatility in finishes that include options such as stone, metal, or carved wood. Each finish is thoughtfully chosen to evoke a sense of stability and grounding, ensuring that the sofa maintains its balance between the feelings of weightlessness and support. This duality facilitates a serene and inviting atmosphere, perfect for any modern living area.
