Construction
Listed on the sheet: a base-frame in MDF NAF wood fibre; shaped polyurethane of different density in the seat; shaped polyurethane plus polyurethane foam in the back; polyurethane foam in the armrests. The covers use either polyethylene terephthalate or a polyethylene-and-nylon material, and the seat has studs of nylon. Brass rings, a stainless steel carabiner, a polypropylene cord and solid wood feet complete the list. The cover is "fabric Stella McCartney with metal studs".
Specifications
Element CM96CM: 96 cm wide, 96 cm deep, overall height 70 cm (67 cm in the front view), seat height 40 cm. Feet are 5 cm (2") or 8 cm (3 1/8") high. A 96 cm dimension is also shown beside the side view; the depth is therefore uncertain.
Story
Camaleonda in a new dress
The sofa is offered as a special edition of Mario Bellini's Camaleonda system, wearing a brand new fabric by Stella McCartney. On the page it is the second chapter of the collaboration between the British conscious luxury pioneer and the Italian design house.
The S-Wave monogram
The page traces the S-Wave monogram to DNA strings, soundwaves, sacred geometries and the idea of living in harmony with nature, and notes that it recurs across the ready-to-wear and accessories collections of Stella McCartney. This Camaleonda is said to be crafted from nearly entirely sustainable materials.
