Trobar
The Wiggle Sofa & The Pod
Furniture designed to spark conversation.
Some projects ask you to recreate something that already exists.
This wasn't one of them.
Created in close collaboration with Dolli Taylor for Trobar, this collection brought two completely original pieces to life: The Wiggle Sofa and The Pod. Designed to encourage gathering, conversation and curiosity, every curve, stitch and detail was made entirely from scratch.
The Story
Trobar isn't simply a restaurant. It's a place where food, art and community come together.
Dolli wanted furniture that felt just as expressive as the people who would spend time there. Pieces that encouraged gathering, curiosity and conversation.
The challenge wasn't restoring furniture. It was inventing it.
Every curve, proportion and detail had to be developed through experimentation until the pieces felt effortless, playful and completely at home within the space.
Behind the Making
The Wiggle Sofa was developed collaboratively from the earliest sketches through to the final upholstery.
The Pod combines luxurious velvet with a 100% wool micro-stripe fabric and recycled shredded foam, creating a seat that feels generous, playful and inviting.
No templates.
No production lines.
Just thoughtful craftsmanship shaped around one creative vision.
CLIENT WORDS
"Working with Hannah was an absolute dream. She was dedicated, creative, kind and professional. She helped me create something very special for Trobar, my restaurant, bar, art gallery and shop."
– Dolli Taylor | Founder, Trobar
THE RESULT
Today these pieces have become part of Trobar's identity.The Wiggle Sofa naturally brings people together, while The Pod creates a quiet corner to pause, unwind and settle in.
Neither piece could exist anywhere else. They're a true reflection of Dolli's creative vision and of the playful, art-filled atmosphere that makes Trobar unlike anywhere else.
