Construction

The datasheet names a firwood frame (Picea abies) plus chipboard and elastic straps as the structure. Polyurethane foam of variable density pads it under a light velvet cover. Pewter-coloured paint finishes the feet, which have a plastic stand. Covers are removable.

A compact sofa with a clear line

Molteni&C presents Breeze as a compact design that embodies effortless elegance. The datasheet calls it a sofa with an eye-catching line, suited to small city homes or to large public spaces such as the lobbies of big international hotels. As the name suggests, the page says, Breeze offers a sense of lightness and ease, reflected in a sculptural silhouette with a subtle presence.

Seat, armrests and feet

The page describes a streamlined form defined by a continuous seat that flows beneath a gently curved armrest, inviting relaxation without additional cushions. The construction is grounded by minimalist feet that the page calls robust, with an airy profile; the datasheet speaks of essential but strong lines.
