Rustic Textures Give the Feeling of Being at a Construction Site

The structure of the sofa is made from discarded formwork from a construction site, and the roller cushions are made of the blue plastic protective foam that is wrapped around aluminum door frames during construction. The original size of the foam was retained; after it was pressed, it created a unique texture.
