Story
Landscape translated into furniture
Vitra connects the name Polder to Dutch land reclaimed and divided into low fields. Jongerius translates that horizontal idea through unequal ends, a long profile and coordinated changes in weave.
Four complete palettes
Rather than a single uniform cover, Vitra offers four predefined textile compositions. Natural-material buttons with contrasting pins mark the cushions and reinforce the deliberately varied surface.
