According to Luca Beltrame, co-founder of H-O-TT, “The idea of Furfit came to my partner Saba Nabavi Tafreshi and I during the first months of the Coronavirus lockdown. Living in a typical Dutch apartment, the space to work out wasn’t generous, so we started to think about a way to upscale our living room and find an active use for the pieces of furniture that were otherwise limiting our movements. The range is a way of transforming limitations into potential, simply achieving more with less.”
