Facebook Acquires Sofa Design Team, Not Its Products
Facebook has acquired the Dutch software company Sofa, but the deal doesn't include the startup's four products, Kaleidoscope, Checkout, Enstore and Versions.
Facebook has acquired the five-year-old Dutch software design company Sofa; the financial terms of the deal remain unknown.
The design company’s clients include Nike, Mozilla, 280 North, Aristo, TomTom and Disco. The work has ranged from icons to entire interfaces. Additionally, Sofa makes applications that run on Macintosh platforms and the web.
But Sofa’s four products, Kaleidoscope, Checkout, Enstore and Versions aren’t part of the acquisition — that moves the company’s 11 employees from Amsterdam to Facebook’s design department in Palo Alto, California.
Checkout and Enstore now belong to Sofa’s joint venture partner Acclivity.
