Freestile
Godrej Interio
Sofa is a piece of furniture that adds warmth to the landscape of a living space. It has evolved through time and adapted to various user habits. Today sofa is no more a formal seating arrangement of a living room, the user has built an eco-system around it. It assists in different user habits of leisure reading, working and eating. When time arrives to change the ambience of a living room, the first thing a user does is change the seating arrangement. The creation of Freestile is on this core idea of creating a seating system which supports the need of the user for an ever changing living space.
