A Sofa Modeled After Ferdinand von Zeppelin’s Airship

Ferdinand von Zeppelin was a pioneer in airship design and Ukraine product designers Mukomelov took inspiration from the airship’s form for their latest design, the Zeppelin Sofa. The unusual contemporary design helps bring a bit of the sky into your interior.

Taking inspiration from Zeppelin’s forms and framework structures of the airship, the sofa has smooth lines and a large, curved seat area offering plenty of space.

The sofa might be named after a rigid airship, but it’s covered in a soft fabric and filled with cozy internal padding to make it comfortable.
