Story
Seat and frame
The Highlands seat is polyurethane foam in varied densities with polyester fiber, carried by a wood frame. Each seat is a separate module, and black linking devices join one module to the next.
Back and arm
The back and the arm share a single construction: injected polyurethane foam and polyester fiber, with a steel frame inside. That frame holds an articulated reclining mechanism. The covers of the Highlands sofa are removable.
