Eda-Mame

Three seating ideas in one form

Eda-Mame is Piero Lissoni's 2018 armchair for B&B Italia. The maker describes one sculptural object that fuses a high-back chair, an easy chair and an ottoman, developed from the form of a soy bean.

Moulded upholstery and steel support

Flexible cold-shaped polyurethane foam surrounds an internal structure of tubular steel and steel profiles. Steel crosspieces with rounded feet form the support, completed by thermoplastic ferrules. The cover is limited to selected fabric categories.

EM247S dimensions

The product-specific drawing labels 247 × 109 × 77 cm for EM247S. It also marks vertical values of 49 and 42 cm.

An organic three-part object

B&B Italia connects Eda-Mame's name and outline to the soy bean used in Oriental cuisine. The manufacturer presents it as one sculptural furnishing object that combines the functions of a high-back chair, an easy chair and an ottoman.

One continuous gesture

The official sheet describes the piece as suitable for residential and public settings, including co-working, passage and short-stay areas. Light stitching follows the stretch-fabric cover over the moulded-foam body.
