Story
Marcel Wanders and the Mad lines
Poliform credits the Mad Out sofa to Studio Marcel Wanders and dates it to 2023. The text says Wanders reinterprets the soft and curved lines of the iconic Mad Collection and adapts them to the outdoor lifestyle.
A backrest that lets air and light through
The hand-woven rope backrest is the feature the page highlights. It enables air and light to filter through, which the text gives as the reason the sofa suits outdoor use while keeping the style and solidity of an indoor sofa.
