Formed by two upholstered oblong shapes and underpinned by a lightweight, minimalist frame, the Oblong two-seater sofa balances simplicity and style.

Oblong’s upholstered seat and backrest provide the supersize comfort of a lounger, while being lighter and sleeker than an overstuffed seat. The sofa’s fluid form and geometric profile resemble shapes more typical of contemporary art than furniture design. The sofa was designed with an open base that allows light to pass through, enabling Oblong to fill the space without appearing to crowd it.

Although lightweight and comfortable, the sofa’s frame forms a stable base that holds it firmly in place.

Mario is based in Hangzhou, China, but his work is global in appeal. Mario has collaborated with local manufacturers in China, Italy and Denmark, and now joins forces with Northern to engage a wider international market. Mario is pioneering a new approach to interior design that he describes as ‘soft minimalism’. By that, Mario means that furniture can be streamlined and understated, while also soft to the touch and tactile in appearance.

The stunning lounge chair and sofa he designed for Northern is all of those things, and more. Mario is currently exploring ways to make design more inclusive, and finding new applications for materials that respect the environment and appeal to society as a whole.
