Mirabell Sofa

Overview

The Mirabell sofa is an outdoor sofa by GamFratesi for Poltrona Frau. The page describes a powder-coated aluminium frame with an embossed finish, light enough to be moved around an outdoor space, and thin metal elements that give it a rhythmic profile.

Construction

The sheet gives the structure as powder-coated aluminium in a textured Basalt finish (RAL 8019). The seat, back and armrest cushions rest on the frame and are fixed with straps. The seat cushion is made of draining material, with a black polyester non-slip cloth underneath; the back and armrest cushions are padded with polyester fibre flakes that simulate feathers, with a water-repellent polyester cover.

A basket on a metal frame

The page's concept text says the Mirabell collection is inspired by the classic benches and metal seats typical of 20th-century France, a decorative spirit that GamFratesi reinterprets in a more essential and rigorous contemporary language. The seats rest on a metal frame raised off the ground on a double foot.

Woven metal

The page says the structure takes cues from rattan outdoor furniture and incorporates a series of woven metal elements, creating the illusion of a large suspended basket ready to hold upholstered cushions or small table tops; the distinctive supporting curve is called the hallmark of the entire outdoor collection.
