Influenced by water and ideas of eternity, the double-ended Möbius sofa by Lauren Colquhoun for Bazaar offers space for two people to sit and contemplate.

Colquhoun, an interior designer, originally created the Möbius loveseat for a London riverside project by design studio Accouter.

The riverside setting led Colquhoun to consider symbols of flow and eternity, which in turn led to the möbius strip — a band with one edge and one side that is non-orientable.

Möbius strips are often created by taking a strip of paper, twisting it over once and joining its ends into a loop.

The Möbius loveseat is a statement piece that is handmade to order by craftspeople in the UK. It is pictured in cobalt blue velvet but can be upholstered in any fabric.
