Story
An outdoor sofa shaped like a shell
Poliform presents Shore as a sofa meant to turn exterior spaces into a place of quiet and wellbeing, with a silhouette that recalls a shell and lets light and air pass through.
Rope that recalls waves
The hand-woven rope structure is described as evoking the movement of the waves, and the News 2026 catalogue credits Jean-Marie Massaud with the sofa and its nautical imagery.
