Shell Sofa
Overview
Design by Brian Buchik.
Made in Canada by Room B.
All wrapped up. The Shell Sofa is characterized by an elegant interplay of distinctive wood grains and deep upholstered cushioning. Its molded plywood shell, which wraps the sofa in wood veneers, creates an effortless simplicity. This sophisticated approach combines classic design with all of the comforts of modern seating, making it fit seamlessly into any space.
Carefully chosen proportions and simple geometry create an exceptional level of comfort in Shell. The exposed molded plywood sides wrap over broad arms that can accommodate sitters and their incidentals. All of the cushions, including the arms, are removable from the wood shell and are reversible for easy cleaning, moving and re-configuring. Inside, foam seating consists of various densities of high grade polyurethane foam and natural latex foam - a renewable resource that is more durable than other synthetic foams. By using higher grade foams, Room B achieves a longer lasting and superior product. Available in pallet of 8 fabric colors, with 4 frame finish options and 2 base finish options.
Select Natural Walnut, Natural White Oak, White Oiled White Oak or Dark Brown Walnut frame finish, with Light Oak or Dark Oak base footing. Then select from 8 upholstery colors.

Arms and sides are constructed with exposed molded plywood, reenforced internally to create a strong and rigid frame. The sofa back is exposed in matching wood panel.

Manufacturer: Room B
Room B was formed in 2009, when founder Brian Buchik decided to turn his passion for design and architecture towards the everyday products for the home and contract markets. The design and manufacturing company, located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, strives to offer good design that is timeless. They believe that good design is all encompassing: creating products that not only look good, but are also practical, affordable, and responsible.
As a young company, Room B maintains that "every little bit matters", undertaking positive approaches early on to try to lower emissions, conserve energy and reduce waste. Designing stackable chairs, for example, allows the company to better utilize shipping space, reducing the amount of transportation required, reducing emissions and creating less packaging material. Room B has also adopted the practice of using interchangeable parts in some of their designs, reducing production times, energy and material waste. All products are made in Canada, with an eye toward continually greening the business and production.
