Composed of four irregularly shaped, independent elements, three
polygons and a quadrilateral, on moulded polypropylene and rubber
feet. The elements can be placed together along the various sides to
obtain myriad patterns with modularity, governed by the laws of
plane geometry, multiplied exponentially. The shapes, without frame
and any rigid support, are modeled by moulding a mixture, protected
by an international patent, of "Gellifoam" and other foams, some of
which are commonly used in aerospace applications, to ensure a
special, almost sensual, softness. The range also includes two
flexible backs, in different sizes, which can be positioned as
required and joined together by means of two disks of special
heat-formed rubber which can easily be removed for washing. The
polyurethane shapes, pliant thanks to the extra softness of the
mixture, are lined with a special stretch fabric that enables the
shape to spring back. The covers, tight-fitting like a t-shirt, are
fitted over the items and fastened, to adapt to the ergonomic
bending of the foam and "Gellifoam" mixture, by seams along the
vertical sides only of the various elements. Like a proper suit, the
upholstery has been made up in a range of fabrics designed by Monica
Mazzei and produced exclusively for Edra.
