Interior design ideasVON POLL REAL ESTATE | 39 Interior design ideas COMFORT MEETS DESIGN FROM CAPE TOWN TO THE WORLD Could a sofa be more than just a piece of furniture? This is what the founders of Vetsak asked themselves when they laid the foundation stone for their brand in Cape Town in 2012. What began with beanbags has turned into an international success story. Vetsak is synonymous with modular sofas and seating furniture that unite exceptional comfort, minimalist design and sustainability. Their flexible design lets the furniture adapt to changing living spaces and individual needs, for a new way of living that combines freedom and style. L iving spaces are more than just functional places. They are places of retreat or meeting places and often full of movement – just like life, which never stands still but is constant- ly evolving. This dynamism is the basic philosophy behind Vetsak’s furniture. With just five modules, 38 colours and a choice of high-quality fabrics, including covers made from recycled PET bottles, the sofas can be customised to suit indi- vidual preferences. From compact city flats to spacious living areas, furniture from Vetsak changes with its owners. Maximum comfort and minimalist design form a harmonious symbiosis at Vetsak. Thanks to their modular design, they can be extended and recombined or giv- en a completely new look just by chang- ing the covers. The most beautiful way to relax In an age when everyday life is often fast-paced and unpredictable, a place of peace and relaxation is becoming in- creasingly essential. Sofas from Vetsak are more than just design objects: they’re a statement of comfort. The innovative hybrid memory foam adapts perfectly to any sitting or reclin- ing position, ensuring an unrivalled feeling of well-being. The covers are not only very hard-wearing, but can also be removed and washed – the perfect blend of aesthetics and functionality. The robust design even qualifies the sofa for outdoor use, e.g. on the terrace. But the focus is not only on sofas: Vet- sak’s iconic beanbag, which started it all, is still a highlight of the collection today. Filled with soft foam flakes, it gives you the ultimate lounge feeling – whether in the living room, in the garden or as the perfect addition for balmy summer 40 | VON POLL IMMOBILIEN nights on the balcony. For sofas used outdoors, the company has developed water and UV-resistant covers that are not only weatherproof but also pleas- ingly soft. Sustainability meets quality Besides comfort and design, Vetsak fo- cuses on durable materials and respon- sible production Covers made from re- cycled PET bottles are just one example of how functionality and environmen- tal awareness can merge together. The sophisticated modular design ensures that furniture can be easily extended or transformed with new covers – for a home that moves with the times. Modularity rethought With its mission of redefining comfort, Vetsak has evolved from a small idea in Cape Town into an inter- national brand. But its basic idea remains unchanged: to create furniture that grows with its owners and enables them to give rooms fresh look and a cosy ambi- ence for many years and for every phase of life. Interior design ideas Thanks to their modular flexibility, the sofa elements are also suit- able for small rooms.
