Construction

The page describes a leather-covered, die-cast aluminium base that lifts the sofa off the floor and a painted cast aluminium foot that stays visually suspended from the crossbar. The sheet lists a base frame of aluminium with zamak end caps, a birch plywood structure with faesite panelling for backrests and armrests, and seat cushions in polyurethane foam of different densities.

Specifications

• 2-seater sofa, 5678211: W 185 cm, D 92 cm, H 79 cm
• Covering: Pelle Frau® leather, or leather combined with saddle leather or fabric
• Feet: moulded aluminium in ruthenium or burnished finish, matching the base end caps

Soft, rounded and welcoming

The page describes Happy Jack as soft, rounded and cosy, inviting the sitter to be embraced by its contours; the large cushions are meant for a more casual, relaxed way of living. The sheet words the same idea as a sofa that invites you to sit down and be enveloped by its shapes.

The armrest that smiles

According to the page, the seating system has curved, wrap-around cushioning and an armrest that, when flexed, resembles a smile. The page says the sofa does without a back cushion, leaving the back and armrests to give support and creating a slim modularity, and that fully removable fabric covers can match the leather of the frame.
