“Scaffold” Sofa in Solid Wood with Integrated Bookcase – WEWOOD

The Scaffold sofa by WEWOOD, designed by André Teoman Studio in 2015, originates from the meeting of comfort, architecture and artisanal woodworking.

Its defining feature is an open 100% solid wood structure that surrounds the sofa and expands its functionality, becoming a bookcase, display surface or element capable of defining different areas within a room.

Scaffold therefore moves beyond the traditional concept of upholstered furniture to become a multifunctional piece, particularly suited to contemporary interiors where furniture and architecture interact with one another.

A Structure Inspired by Architecture

The name Scaffold, referring to the idea of scaffolding, directly reflects the design principle behind the sofa.

The wooden frame is constructed as a sequence of linear, interconnected elements, creating an architectural structure in which each part simultaneously performs an aesthetic and practical function.

The rigorous geometric profile defines the sofa within the space, while the open compartments preserve a sense of lightness and visual continuity.

Sofa and Bookcase in a Single Element

The structure surrounding the seat can be used as an integrated bookcase, allowing objects to be organized and displayed without adding further furniture to the living room.

The open shelves can accommodate:

• books;
• plants;
• ceramics;
• decorative objects;
• collections and personal accessories.

This possibility allows Scaffold to be personalized and gradually transformed into an element capable of expressing both the space and the people who inhabit it.

Also Usable as a Room Divider

The open structure makes Scaffold particularly interesting as a room divider.

Positioned in the center of a room or within an open-plan space, it can help define different functional areas without creating a completely closed separation.

The system maintains visual continuity between spaces, making it ideal for organizing contemporary living rooms, lofts and interiors where distinct areas need to be created while preserving light and openness.

100% Solid Wood

The Scaffold structure is made entirely from solid wood, a material that represents one of the fundamental elements of its identity.

The design is available in oak or walnut, two wood species capable of interpreting the character of the sofa in different ways.

Oak introduces lighter and more natural tones, while walnut gives the structure a deeper and more intense presence.

Natural grain and tonal variations highlight the authenticity of the material and the quality of the craftsmanship.

High-End Joinery and Construction Details

Scaffold is conceived to emphasize the quality of high-end joinery.

The precision of the joints, the continuity of the wooden elements and the accuracy of the connections become an integral part of the product’s aesthetic.

The structure is not concealed but displayed, transforming construction technique into a true decorative element.

This approach reflects a concept of furniture in which material, structure and craftsmanship are just as important as form.

Scandinavian Influences and Artisanal Tradition

The essential lines and predominance of wood recall some principles of Scandinavian design, reinterpreted through a strong focus on artisanal woodworking.

The geometric rigor is softened by the natural texture of oak or walnut and by the comfort of the upholstered component.

This combination allows Scaffold to integrate into both minimalist contemporary interiors and richer, more layered environments.

A System for Contemporary Living

Scaffold responds to the needs of fluid interiors through a strong capacity for adaptation.

It can be used as:

• a sofa with rear bookcase;
• a storage and display element;
• a divider between different areas;
• the central focal point of an open-plan space.

Its multifunctional nature makes it possible to reduce the number of individual furnishings within the room by integrating several functions into a single design.

Scaffold therefore becomes a synthesis of seating, architecture and storage, designed to bring order and character to the space without compromising its openness.

Designer

André Teoman Studio was born from the experience of André Teoman and Ana Rita Pires, both trained in Product Design in Viana do Castelo, Portugal.

After his studies, André Teoman collaborated with several high-end furniture design brands before founding his own studio. Ana Rita Pires developed experience in textile and graphic design before later joining the studio.

Their research places particular importance on collaboration with local artisans and the preservation of traditional techniques, bringing them into dialogue with contemporary processes and design languages.

The studio develops projects with a strong narrative and emotional component, seeking to create objects with a recognizable personality.

Scaffold fully reflects this approach through a structure in which high-end joinery, functionality and typological experimentation are brought together in a single furnishing element.
