Accordion Modular Sofa

Accordion

Accordion is a modular sofa built from a single base module. The base module changes size and shape through compression, similar to the bellows of an accordion. Many sofa configurations can be created from one module to suit different spaces. The body is made of high resilience compressible foam, and the wooden side panels are joined by strong ropes and adjustable knobs. Turning the knobs tightens the ropes and compresses the sofa. The sofa can also be compressed for flat pack packaging, which lowers packaging, storage and transport costs.

Accordion Modular Sofa by Yuqi Wang was recognized as a grand representation of industrial design by the A' Design Awards. Accordion Modular Sofa earned the Golden A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2025. The A' Furniture Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design competition that celebrates outstanding design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
