Waffle

Founded in 2017 by Canberra-based designers René Linssen and Elliot Bastianon, furniture studio Furnished Forever places great value on Australian manufacturing. For WAFFLE, the differences between hard and soft surfaces, with the geometric planes of Waffle’s upholstered grid, offer a satisfying squish of comfort. Effectively a grid within a grid, the repeated structural elements deliver a rectilinear sculptural form. Here, the straight smooth lines of timber are met with the softly curved profile.
