Диван Sancal HAPPEN

If we think about how to represent a sofa in a white sheet, we would surely draw something really similar to this model.‎ Happen is what happens: the paradigm, the essence of a sofa nowadays.‎
Happen originates with the aim of being normal, thus, it has been conceived to go beyond transient fads; its timeless shapes transcend this.‎ Rafa García didn’t try to reinvent anything, he just practiced good design - taking into account the proportions, materials, seams - and the ability to create dynamic compositions; always with the conviction that every detail is really important, however small.‎
The project eschews grand gestures and gimmicks, but, instead, uses neutral forms and simplicity as the base for the collection and its development.‎ It is this pretence of normality what differentiates the product.‎ Details are studied without artifice.‎ Thus, Rafa adheres to the philosophy that promoted Naoto Fukasawa and Jasper Morrison through the exhibition Super Normal, Sensations of the Ordinary.‎
Happen uses a narrow L-shaped base to integrate all the elements.‎ More than a puzzle, it is a large modular program, closer to the modular furniture system than to upholstery.‎
The unseen details are even more important: the seat cushions are made from a special composition of polyurethane, on top of which is added a 6 cm.‎ deep layer of memory foam.‎
