Three-seater sofa COSTUME
A modular system designed to never bore you
The COSTUME modular seat is made of recycled and recyclable polyethylene. The entire modular system consists of different units that can be combined with each other in different shapes, colours and sizes. The individual elements can also be fitted with armrests. You can choose the fabric cover in several colours to best match your interior. The cover is also fully removable, making it easy to replace or clean. This gives your modular chair or entire sofa a fresh and modern look for years to come, you can change the shape or colour of the cover whenever you like, making the whole concept even more sustainable.
How to choose the right seat
A sofa is the heart of any living room, so you need to choose one that is not only design-led but also functional. What do you need to look for when buying one? And what types can you find on the market? We've summed it up for you in our video.
A word from the designer
Designer Stefan Diez revealed a few details about the Costume project. "Together with Magis we set out to meet the challenge of designing a modular system that could be completely dismantled. The system was to consist of only a few parts, a minimum of polyurethane foam and a fabric cover that is washable and can be replaced. At the beginning it all looked quite complicated, almost impossible, but after four years of work we have finally managed to design the ideal product."
And what is special about the COSTUME modular system, according to Stefan Diez? "When individual components get dirty or worn out, they can be easily replaced, even the thin foam insert can be cleaned. The sofa has been assembled in the spirit of the circular economy, not only is it fully recyclable, but the body itself is made from recycled plastic.
A sofa made from waste? Why not!
At the heart of the COSTUME modular system is a body made from recycled and recyclable polyethylene. This body is manufactured using rotational moulding technology from waste from the furniture and automotive industries. A thin layer of polyurethane foam is laid on top of the spring. The fabric cover can be attached with tension strips and can be removed again at any time. The Costume modular system is unique in that it takes much less foam production than a conventional sofa, but especially in that most of the materials used can also be easily recycled.
The seating module can be completed with a left or right armrest or otomanem. The individual parts are joined together using plastic connectors that slide into grooves located in the corners of the seat. You can choose to match the connectors to the sofa or create an interesting aesthetic feature by choosing contrasting colours. The elements can be assembled in many combinations depending on your needs and space.

Do you have a showroom where we could view your products?
Yes, we have exactly two. You can come and see Urxova Street in Prague's Karlín, where a modernly equipped model apartment is waiting for you. Here you can get inspiration mainly for home furnishings. If your goal is more office equipment, visit a few blocks further. In the Corso Karlín building, you will find an innovative work corner (especially from the Narbutas brand) as well as individual pieces to try on. You can come on weekdays without an appointment. Would you like to consult your selection? Then don't hesitate to make an appointment in advance so that we can devote ourselves fully to you.
