NEW 2016

Kumo, the Japanese word for cloud, is a

light, tautly designed and contemporary

seating island. This playful and airy

sofa concept comes with two modules

that can be used in different outdoor

and indoor settings, both privately

and publicly, large or small: intimately,

on a terrace or by the pool, but also

in the reception area of hotels or in

public buildings. Kumo invites you to

create a personalised outdoor cocoon:

its concept with inter-changeable

Kumo,

covers comes in different shapes and

sizes, decorative pillows, seat and back

cushions which you can choose from

the extensive Manutti fabrics range.

The armrests and back supports are

easily adjustable and can be moved

around, transforming the Kumo cloud

into a plush sofa or stylish lounger, a

lounge chair or cool footrest. Mixing

and matching was never this easy! ❚

DESIGNER PORTRAIT LIONEL DOYEN

Lionel Doyen is specialised in service, product and

industrial design and product development. Since he

launched his own studio in Sept 2013 , he aims to

establish a more personal, more experimental approach

to product design and development. In partnership with

companies like Manutti, he hopes to promote a more

comprehensive strategy, taking into consideration the

customer’s relationship with the product and its use,

the innovative aspects and implementation more than

simply its aesthetic appeal.
