An aluminium frame carries different-density polyurethane protected by water-repellent polyester fibre. B&B Italia also lists a PU-coated PES cover cloth for additional weather protection.

Story

Form joined to function

B&B Italia describes the large back as both a defining visual element and an ergonomic enclosure. Its movement changes the sofa from an open seat into a covered form without adding a separate rigid lid.
