The sofa feautures a revolutionary system to assemble seat and armrest cushions to the base. The cushions are simply put into a metal tubular frame which grant rigidity and resistance to the use of the sofa. Base in multi plywood with fibre cover. Backrests and armrests: main structure in painted tubular metal. Each element (back, seat, arm) is padded and covered singularly. Padding in stress-resistant differentiated density polyurethane foam and fibre cover. Fully removable covers, except for leather version. Metal feet.
