Story
A soft sculpture on three levels
Zanotta describes Bumper as a presence plied out of polyurethane, with base, seat and backrest as three overlapping levels of comfort that continue at the rear of the sofa.
Named after a fixing
According to Zanotta, the backrest is secured to the seat with pin hooks borrowed from the automotive industry, which also inspired the product's name.
