Yak is a modular sofa designed for both indoor and outdoor use, featuring an EPP (expanded polypropylene) structure, polyurethane foam padding, and a polyester fiber lining. Upholstery is available in fabric, faux leather, or leather. All components can be separated thanks to a construction system that does not require the use of glue.
The Yak system consists of two elements: a seat module and a backrest/armrest module. The combination of these two elements allows for endless configurations, enabling the sofa to adapt to any space and layout requirement.
Thanks to its interlocking assembly system, Yak requires no screws, making assembly simple and intuitive. The absence of glue also allows each component to be easily separated at the end of its life cycle, facilitating recycling processes and supporting a more sustainable approach to product disposal and material recovery.
