The Art of the Float
The Art of the Float: Designing Space That Breathes
In design, what you don’t fill can be just as powerful as what you do. “The Art of the Float” is about creating interiors that feel lighter - spaces that balance form and function while allowing room to breathe.
As our homes evolve into places where we work, rest, and connect, we crave designs that bring a sense of ease and openness. Floating furniture achieves exactly that: pieces that feel present without ever feeling heavy.
What It Means to Float
Floating design isn’t just an illusion, it’s a feeling. These are pieces that appear to lift gently off the ground through refined proportions, concealed legs, and soft, sculptural silhouettes. The effect creates lightness and flow, helping smaller rooms feel spacious and calm.
A floating sofa or armchair allows the eye to move freely around a space. It’s simplicity paired with substance - minimalism with warmth.
Why We’re Drawn to Lighter Living
In Danish design, light has always been a quiet luxury. It’s about balance, harmony, and calm. Floating furniture carries this tradition forward by giving materials, light, and texture the space to shine.
As life becomes busier, our interiors become places to slow down. Sofas like the Daphne Modular Sofa or Dane Modular capture this perfectly. Their low profiles and hidden bases bring a sense of weightlessness, while the plush, soft seating invites true relaxation.
Designing Space That Breathes
To create a home that feels effortless, consider rhythm and restraint. Pair soft, organic forms with open space. Let natural light fall across textured fabrics such as Maya Cream, Free Sage or Aulla Cacao. Choose slim silhouettes and neutral tones that allow the room to flow with ease.
The beauty of the float lies in its balance - grounded in craftsmanship, yet light in spirit.
About Time You Made Room for Better
At Sofacompany, we design with this philosophy in mind. From Daphne’s serene silhouette to Maison’s modular versatility, each piece is created to enhance how you live, move, and breathe at home.
