Ubá Sofa
STUDIO MK27 · São Paulo, Brazil
People's Choice Award 2026
Category Winner 2026

Overview
Inspired by the memory of canoes carved from a single tree trunk, Ubá emerges from the encounter between matter and movement. Its design begins with solid wood, shaped into gentle curves that embrace the body and extend horizontally across the piece, creating the sensation of a hull suspended in space. The structure, both solid and delicate, rests on brass feet that subtly lift the sofa from the floor, reinforcing its sense of lightness. Above it, the continuous linen seat contrasts with the welcoming texture of the suede that envelops the backrest. Geometric stitching and wooden buttons reveal a meticulous craftsmanship, in which every detail contributes to the creation of a distinctive visual language. Ubá is an exercise in balance: between weight and lightness, precision and gesture, nature and craftsmanship. An object that translates the simplicity of essential forms into an experience of comfort and permanence.
Like a canoe crossing a landscape, the sofa carries with it a sense of journey. Its form invites gathering, rest, and contemplation — a quiet presence that transforms the space around it.
