Versatility in the contract sector – with Curt, the modular sofa by AMBIVALENZ

A comfortable stool in a coworking space, a snug two-seater in a café or a generous sofa lounge in a hotel lobby – as user needs keep changing, the contract sector increasingly asks for seating systems that adapt fast. The Curt sofa system is exactly that: adaptable seating for contract use. With the modular sofa Curt, Berlin label AMBIVALENZ presents an innovative, flexible solution that creates the right seat for every occasion. Designed in collaboration with designer Joa Herrenknecht, this quick-change artist not only adapts to users and rooms – it also gives architects and interior designers immense planning freedom.

Curt, the adaptable seating system for the contract sector

Fascinatingly minimalist, Curt impresses with its intelligent modular construction: it consists of a single module shape, a cuboid. There is no fixed chaise on the right or méridienne on the left. Combining any number of upholstered elements quickly produces endless configurations. Each module carries 16 concealed connection loops; thanks to the unique connection system of adjustable straps with two hooks, Curt can be set up, swapped and changed in no time. No commitment for eternity: Curt stays flexible and adaptable.

The clever construction and unlimited configurations translate into remarkably versatile applications. From hotels, bars, cafés and restaurants to offices and coworking spaces, cinemas, theatres and retail, Curt provides the right seat for every purpose. In coworking or coliving spaces, the modular elements create user-friendly communication and work areas that can be assembled and dissolved as needed. In cafés, Curt makes for comfortable sofas in different shapes and sizes. And in hotel lobbies, the endless combinations produce cosy armchairs and lounge corners, two- and three-seaters and vast seating landscapes where guests love to linger.

With its flexibility, Curt lets architects and interior designers plan upholstered furniture tailored precisely to each project and its spatial conditions – easily adapted to clients’ individual needs and wishes. And that freedom doesn’t end at the planning stage: even after completion, Curt can be reconfigured effortlessly.

In design and materials, Curt also meets the highest standards. The covers – minimalist yet striking and contemporary – come in impressive variety. Each consists of two individual fabric rectangles, so covers can be combined in one or two colours, swapped easily and cleaned without fuss. Beyond Curt’s standard fabric range, fabrics from collections such as Kvadrat, Camira or Gabriel are available. With covers that meet the fire-safety standards required for public buildings, Curt is ready for demanding contract environments.

The modular sofa is more than a comfortable couch: flexible, simple and fast, Curt adapts to changing conditions and requirements, creating varied interiors in a world full of change – adaptable seating for the contract sector and its many demands.
