Construction

Story
A parka as a model
The page says the Parka range pays homage to a classic 1990s streetwear garment, typical of the US grunge culture and now a symbol of an entire generation. Like the garment, it calls Parka a passe-partout sofa that fits any style and is extremely versatile, despite having a strong personality.
One shape from back to seat
According to the page, the unusually oval backrest gradually and seamlessly morphs into an armrest and then a seat, which creates a concave or convex shape, bold and at the same time inviting. The sheet calls it a distinctive elliptical backrest that slopes down into the armrest and the seat, and credits the sofa to the first collaboration between Poltrona Frau and Draga & Aurel.
