Rico Sofa 3-Seater

Overview

The Rico Sofa 3-seater belongs to Ferm Living's Rico series, which in the brand's words welcomes curves and volumes into a classic design defined by soft lines and an embracing expression. The page contrasts the sturdiness of the three-seater's frame with an upholstery of timeless, easeful bouclé fabric, woven of uneven yarn for a rich, loopy texture. The version described here is Bouclé, colour Sand (item no. 100107204).

Construction

The backrest is moulded foam with an inner steel structure, and the seat is PU foam with an FSC™ Mix-certified inner wooden structure, on feet of low density polyethylene; the series fact sheet words the backrest structure as iron. The bouclé is 35% acrylic, 24% polyester, 19% viscose, 14% cotton, 5% linen and 3% other fibres. The page states Produced in Italy and carries a Handmade in Europe label; the fact sheet says Manufactured in Italy and Lithuania.

Curves and volumes

Ferm Living describes the Rico series as welcoming curves and volumes into a classic design defined by soft lines and an embracing expression. The page says the series' curvaceous nature brings a modern union of comfort and elegance to a room, and that you feel drawn into its "motherly embrace".

Contrast and bouclé

The three-seater sets the sturdiness of its frame against bouclé upholstery, which the page calls timeless yet easeful and says is woven of uneven yarn to attain a rich, loopy texture. The page lists the Rico family beside the 3-seater: a 2-seater, a 4-seater, a lounge chair and modular sofa modules.
