The Perception Sofa is a low-profile sofa from Known Work Studio’s debut Perceptions Collection. A light maple wood frame surrounds a continuous upholstered form: seat, backrest, and armrests covered in ribbed warm brown textile, with no visible breaks between sections.
The sofa sits close to the ground. Viewed from the side, the backrest slopes inward from both ends toward the center, giving the silhouette a cupped, contained shape. The ribbed textile reads as a single skin stretched over the entire form, not a set of individual cushions.
The maple frame is exposed along the outer perimeter. The contrast between pale wood and warm brown textile is direct and deliberate, a material pairing that runs through the full Perceptions Collection.
Known Work Studio was founded in New York City by Danu Kennedy and Jeremy Levitt, partners at award-winning firm Parts and Labor Design. Creative Director Alex Dilena completes the trio. The studio treats furniture as artifact: made by hand, built to be used and owned over a long period. The Perception Sofa is available on Monde Singulier.

About
Known Work Studio
Known Work Studio was founded in New York by Danu Kennedy and Jeremy Levitt, partners at Parts and Labor Design, the award-winning NYC-based firm. The studio began from a shared commitment: to make objects with material integrity and craft that reads in the hand, not just the eye.
Creative Director Alex Dilena joined Kennedy and Levitt at the outset, shaping Known Work's collaborative process from the beginning. The three work at close range with each piece, treating design as investigation rather than output.
The studio takes an anthropological stance toward every collection. Each object is examined in relation to its user, its material, and its making. Sketching, molding, carving, the work happens at the bench, not at a remove. Known Work's objects are artifacts: they carry evidence of how they were made and of the hands that made them.
The output is a body of collectible design furniture rooted in New York craft and built to endure. Known Work's pieces hold their integrity across contexts, at home in a loft in Tribeca or a gallery in Paris.
