Borca Sofa | Contemporary Upholstered Sofa by NICCHRIS

An Authorial Study in Rounded Geometry, Generous Cushioning & Sculptural Armrest Design

A Sofa That Finds Character in Its Simplest Details

There is something distinctly playful about the Borca Sofa by NICCHRIS. At first glance, its proportions are familiar: generous cushions, a straightforward seating arrangement and a comfortable, inviting form. Look closer, however, and the oversized cylindrical armrests give the entire design an unexpected personality.

Rather than treating the armrests as extensions of the sofa's body, Borca makes them a defining feature. Their rounded, almost barrel-like proportions contrast with the rectangular seat cushions and upright backrests, creating a deliberate interplay between geometric shapes. The result is a sofa that feels substantial without appearing overly serious.

The generous seat cushions establish a comfortable foundation, while the individual back cushions introduce a more relaxed, informal character. Beneath them, the upholstered base extends close to the floor, allowing the sofa to read as a cohesive volume rather than a collection of separate structural elements.

A Different Way to Introduce Character

Not every interior needs a dramatic statement piece. Sometimes, a familiar object with one unexpected detail can make a greater impression.

Borca works on this principle. Its cylindrical arms introduce a softer visual language into interiors dominated by straight walls, rectangular cabinetry and angular furniture. Yet the sofa retains enough structure to sit comfortably alongside contemporary, mid-century modern and eclectic design influences.

What makes Borca particularly interesting is that its personality doesn't depend on elaborate detailing. The design is recognisable through its proportions alone, allowing it to bring character into a space without demanding an equally expressive interior around it.

Designed for Living, Not Just Looking

Beyond its appearance, Borca embraces the informal nature of everyday seating. Its broad cushions provide room to settle in, while the generously proportioned back cushions encourage a more relaxed sitting experience.

The rounded armrests also change how the sofa is perceived from different angles. From the front, they frame the seating with a distinctive circular profile. Viewed from the side, their substantial form becomes more apparent, giving Borca a recognisable silhouette even when the rest of the sofa is partially concealed.

Available with a selection of upholstery options, the Borca Sofa can be personalised to suit different interior preferences while retaining the proportions that give it its identity.
