A family of upholstered furniture consisting of a chaise longue, armchair, ottoman, and double ottoman. The supporting structure is made of steel with concealed base, feet, and attachment system. Modules padded with polyurethane foam of different densities. The collection is completely removable and disassemblable, to facilitate cleaning, reuse, or recycling of materials.
Roller
Breaking down the seat into essential graphic elements. From this premise arises Roller: armchairs, ottomans, and chaise lounges that come to life from round and oval rolls, geometric, sculptural, and defined, designed to ensure maximum comfort thanks to the use of polyurethane of different densities.
The forms mold around the person who sits, giving life to a product that not only welcomes but also embraces, with refined finishes and tailored seams that enhance its shapes. The metal, essential both aesthetically and technically, appears in the form of a round tube, delineating in space a supporting skeleton that elegantly sustains the seat cushions.
Every piece of this upholstered family is crafted with high-quality materials and impeccable craftsmanship, ensuring durability and unparalleled comfort. The Roller collection represents an excellent choice for comfort and elegance. With its varied composition, including chaise longue, pouf, armchair, and double pouf, it offers an incomparable relaxation experience.
Although each individual piece is sufficient to give character to the
space, it is in their different combinations and in the interplay of
finishes and fabrics that the possibilities multiply. The possibility of
covering the various elements with multiple fabrics simultaneously
opens up an infinite range of options to customize the product.
