Making Complicated Really Simple

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have reinvigorated the idea of the sofa with their aptly named Can product for Danish brand Hay.

Making Complicated Really Simple

The Bouroullec brothers have designed a sofa to make our lives less complicated. Can is not just a practical, elegant and comfortable sofa but also comes flat-packed and can be assembled at home.

The design duo say they “believe people are keen to get things in a quick and simple way, it is better for all resources, it [requires] less transportation, less volume, less stock, it is just much easier to do.”

Can comes as a one, two and three seater. It has a powder-coated steel frame and the canvas upholstery is offered in an array of muted colours.
