Sculptural And Iconic
Whatever you perceive, the sculptural lightness and flexibility of the Aldora Sofa clearly takes its cue from the botanical world. The curved backrests resemble the folding shape of the calla lily. The division of the seats’ backrests into two partitions is inspired by the aesthetics of the parting of an insect’s wings. The voluminous wings of the Sofa invite two people to converse for hours on end. But for lounging in solitude, the Aldora Sofa also comes with one wing.
