About Incline Modular Seating
The Incline Soft Collection combines architectural clarity with inviting comfort. Defined by inclined planes and calm geometry, the system offers sofas, chaises, and lounge modules that can be rearranged for residential or hospitality spaces. Its modular logic allows compact or expansive layouts, while refined craftsmanship ensures durability. Soft contours balance structural precision, creating a timeless design statement inspired by the desert landscapes of Dubai, where the collection was first envisioned.

- Production Technology
- Frames are built from kiln-dried hardwood and engineered plywood with internal steel brackets for rigidity. High-resilience polyurethane foam forms the ergonomic profile. Upholstery options include performance fabrics, wool blends, and leather; covers are zippered and replaceable. Powder-coated metal bases and connectors ensure durability. Packaging is flat and recyclable to reduce transport volume.
- Design Challenge
- The hardest challenge was creating a slim, elegant profile while ensuring strength and precision joints. Foam or wood frames looked bulky or weak. The solution was an internal steel frame and CNC-cut templates for accuracy. This achieved smooth continuous curves, gap-free connections, and long-term durability.
- Research
- Research focused on modular ergonomics, upholstery durability, and sustainable use. We tested seat-back angles, studied reconfiguration in homes and hotels, and evaluated removable cover systems. Results showed a 6–8 deg incline gives optimal comfort, while replaceable parts extend lifespan and reduce waste.
- Inspiration
- Incline was inspired by architectural geometry and inclined planes, creating a balance of clarity and comfort. The collection was conceived in Dubai, where the desert dunes inspired the soft gradients and warm tones of its palette. The design brings structural precision and timeless calm to both residential and hospitality spaces.
- Project Duration
- Concept in 2023; design development and prototyping in 2024–2025. Work designed in Dubai, UAE and manufactured in Minsk, Belarus.
- Operation Flow
- The modules connect with hidden quick-lock brackets, allowing users to reconfigure layouts without tools. A sofa can transform into a lounge island, a chaise, or individual chairs within minutes. Removable covers make cleaning and replacement simple. The design improves daily use by combining flexibility, comfort, and long-term durability in one system.
