Onda Sofa | A Different Perspective on Curved Seating

Not Every Sofa Needs to Follow a Straight Line.

Most sofas are designed to sit against a wall. Onda takes a different approach. Its gently curved configuration creates a seating arrangement that feels less structured, changing not only how the sofa looks but also how people interact around it.

The Onda Sofa by NICCHRIS is defined by its generous seating, rounded backrests and softly sculpted arms. Rather than relying on dramatic curves, the design introduces subtle changes in direction that give the sofa its character. The individual sections meet at gentle angles, creating a continuous composition without the rigidity of a conventional sectional.

One of Onda's most interesting details is how its backrests and armrests share a similar rounded profile. This consistency gives the design a recognisable identity, while the broad seat cushions keep it approachable and comfortable. There is a deliberate contrast between the substantial upholstered body and the simplicity of its detailing.

What makes Onda worth considering is how it changes the atmosphere of a room.

In interiors where most elements are rectangular, from walls and cabinetry to flooring and architectural openings, Onda introduces a different visual rhythm. Its curves soften these straight lines without competing with the surrounding architecture.

The design also lends itself to a more informal way of living. Instead of everyone sitting in a straight row, its arrangement naturally brings people towards one another. It creates a seating experience that feels more connected, whether for conversation, entertaining or simply spending time together.

Onda doesn't need an elaborate interior to make sense. Its character comes from the shape itself, making it equally relevant in restrained contemporary homes and more eclectic spaces where different furniture forms are brought together.

With custom upholstery options available, Onda can take on different expressions while preserving the proportions and curves that define its design.
