blog vitra - polder sofa

In Holland Polder refers to the artificial land reclaimed from the sea by means of dykes and drainage canals. The corpus of the Polder Sofa is just as low-lying, just as flat, and with just as much emphasis on the horizontal. For it Hella Jongerius chose five carefully selected combinations of colours and fabric qualities, accentuating them with high-tech threads and large buttons made of natural materials.

Materials: wooden frame with belt upholstery, backrest cushions: polyurethane chips and microfibres, textured surface and seat cushion: polyurethane foam and polyester wool, armrest with sand weights, buttons made of natural materials. The sofa can be taken apart for transportation purposes.

This is a VERY cool sofa, you may get back problems but it will be worth it. All you need is an Eames lounge chair to finish off the look.  Things my dreams are made of.
