The fabrics are designed by combining similar shades and then recomposing strips for playing with the bottom-figure technique with floral elements. Two poufs complete the composition, creating a real flower that with its geometry allows for a multitude of possible combinations.
All these modular elements, which can be applied in a multitude of combinations, offer enormous freedom for composition and can produce surprising effects that create flowers and butterflies. The solid wood frame, the use of zero-emission adhesives, the natural linen and cotton fabric and the print created with certified EcoLabel colours, designed by Benedetta Tagliabue, make this sofa a balanced and responsible product.
