Catalog excerpts

In the home country of Dutch designer Hella Jongerius, the word ‚polder‘ refers to low-lying ﬂatlands, typically subdivided into ﬁelds for agriculture, which have been reclaimed from the sea by means of dykes and drainage canals. Created with a ﬂat surface and horizontal emphasis that evoke the characteristic features of this type of landscape, the Polder Sofa exhibits an unusual asymmetrical shape and carefully crafted combination of colours, materials and textures. The cushions and body of the Polder Sofa are covered with diﬀerent fabrics in carefully coordinated tones. The four palettes – The Sea Greens, The Pebble Greys, The Earth Reds and The Antarctic Blues – are muted, earthy shades. Thanks to these understated colour compositions, Polder is perfectly suited to any interior. To accentuate these natural hues, the eye-catching buttons – another special Polder feature – are made of natural materials with coloured pins. One light and one dark set of buttons each form a contrasting addition to the woven fabrics. Polder Polder Sofa Polder Compact Polder exists in two sizes. A low armrest is integrated on one end of the Polder Sofa, while the other is bordered by an adjoining platform that can serve as a storage surface for magazines, books or trays. There is plenty of comfortable space to stretch out and relax. Polder Compact, by contrast, features a body with two armrests in diﬀerent heights.
