Story
A fabric sling rather than a padded shell
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec use the cover itself as the supporting surface around the steel frame. The system reduces the volume of fixed padding while retaining space for two sitters.
Cushions selected as part of the composition
The sofa includes two neck pillows and three back cushions in specified sizes. Each group uses a filling selected for either supportive or soft comfort.
