Description

Overview

Doda (2008) is an armchair designed by Ferruccio Laviani for Molteni&C, made in two versions: Doda with a high back and Doda Low with a broader seat and a lower back. The page describes it as a reinterpretation of the timeless bergère with a contemporary sensibility, welcoming and architectural at once.

As its internal structure both armchairs have a metal frame with elastic straps, according to the datasheet, upholstered in flexible cold-foamed polyurethane with a velveteen cover bonded by resin and a polyurethane seat cushion. The Easy pouf has a composite solid fir (Picea abies) and plywood structure.

Story

A contemporary bergère

The page says the design reinterprets the classic bergère with a contemporary sensibility, joining classic elegance to modern comfort. The datasheet adds that the armchair stands out for its measured proportions between the thicknesses and for the meeting points of straight and curved lines.

Two backs and a pouf

Doda is offered with a high back and, as Doda Low, with more generous proportions and a lower back. The Easy pouf pairs with the armchair to form a chaise longue; the page describes the result as a retreat for reading, conversation or rest.
