Description
Overview

For the service elements (TY60, TY60L) the listed parts are a top in veneered MDF wood fibre panel or aluminium plate, a steel plate and brace, and felt ferrules.

Story
The system, twenty years on
According to the product page, Tufty-Time 20 is the system's contemporary evolution, and the 2005 design by Patricia Urquiola remains its base. Reinterpreted two decades later, it keeps the traits behind the original's success: modularity, enveloping comfort and compositional flexibility.
New volumes, a curved module
Volumes, padding and seat height were redesigned for greater comfort, and a curved module widens the possibilities of the system towards more fluid, convivial configurations, which the page sees as suitable for residential and contract settings. The sofa can be taken fully apart, so that every component might find a second life when the product reaches the end of its cycle.
