Lido Sofa

Overview

Lido is a sofa by Hannes Wettstein for Molteni&C. The page states that it balances contemporary elegance and an inviting softness through disciplined, architectural lines of Nordic precision, which makes it equally suited to formal spaces and relaxed living environments. The datasheet title block reads "Lido — Hannes Wettstein 2005".

Construction

Per the datasheet, the interior uses solid fir (Picea abies), chipboard panels and elastic straps. Seat cushions have a shaped polyurethane core with polyester fibre or sterilised feathers, back cushions use polyester fibre and sterilised feathers, and every cushion has a 100% cotton cover. The upholstery is completely removable, in leather or fabric, and the feet are shiny metal with non-slip plastic tips.

Nordic rigor, soft comfort

The datasheet describes Wettstein's armchair and sofa as balanced and classical in form, very soft and comfortable, yet with a Nordic rigor. The page points to the detail as a pursuit of comfort: generously proportioned cushions that keep a tailored form while offering a welcoming embrace.

Filling and upholstery

The cushions are available with either fibre or feather down filling, and the datasheet draws every sofa in both versions (code letters F for fibre and G for feather). The page adds that the upholstery comes in a curated selection of fine leathers or fabrics and is completely removable.
