Stilt

Soft, spacious, and instantly inviting, the Stilt sofa is a modular system that can be easily adapted to settings of any style and varied sizes.‎ With balanced proportions between its extensive, streamlined platform and the padded, enriching cushions on top, the sofa essentially encapsulates the European sense of modern design, while also adding a touch of authentic Asian influence, as seen through its wood-based frame and additional smaller cushions for the armrests.‎Stilt is a collection of relaxing comfort and simplicity.‎Its conscious and no-frills design underlines District Eight’s distinctive vision to articulate Vietnamese storied craftsmanship from a contemporary perspective - one that is inspired by European ingenuity, and resonates with people all over the world.‎With the sofa and armchair, separate back and seat cushions gently slot into a slender wood platform that comes in either leather or fabric upholstery.‎ Together they’re supported by a sinuous frame, whose seemingly simple structure pays homage to traditional stilt houses found in Northern and Central Vietnam.‎That bearing base consists of elegant wood beams and steel bars, laboriously worked on and sturdily unified by recessed joints of discerning precision.‎ Such details also pertain to the collection’s table set, providing support for its solid oak top.‎A new interpretation of District Eight’s signature forms and materials, the collection eloquently captures the beauty of design and the mood of modern-day living in an ever-changing world.‎
