Mark Goetz - Goetz Sofa
By using common materials and processes in innovative ways, designer
Mark Goetz achieves a clean, crisp aesthetic. The Goetz sofa
complements contemporary, informal lifestyles while echoing Herman
Miller's classic heritage. It also gives supportive comfort. A complex miter at every corner
allows the molded veneer to wrap completely around the sides and back.
Beautiful wood.
Choice of natural walnut, ash, cherry, or ebonized ash
veneer. Fabric or leather. Upholstery meets the veneered surface at a
subtle, understated edge. Shallow enough to give
correct support while sitting upright; deep enough to provide an area
for napping. Easy Care Practical details. A durable polyurethane finish
protects veneers; zippered covers on all cushions can be easily removed
for cleaning. Design Story Molded plywood carries an immediate
association with classic Herman Miller designs, and Mark Goetz,
principal of TZ Design in New York City, skillfully and creatively
incorporates this material in his sofa design.
While traditional
construction consists of a wooden frame with padding and upholstery
applied over it, the Goetz sofa turns tradition inside out, since its
plywood shell is clearly visible as both an aesthetic element and a
structural frame. The sofa's practicality extends to one of its most
important features - comfort. Goetz conducted his own research and
consulted with other experts to arrive at a seat depth that gives
ergonomic support as well as room to lie down.
