Albert sofa is designed by Vincent Van Duysen for Molteni&C with structure in solid wood covered with polyurethane foam in different thicknesses; crossed seat straps with additional transversal padding for support.
Seat cushions in polyurethane in different thicknesses covered with a single-faced down-filled pad and backrest cushions in down with compartments. Upholstery with monochromatic trim stitched in relief; fabric and leather covers are completely removable.
Base in aluminium bars painted in pewter colour; floor slides in non-slip plastic.
Albert is a brave step forward in the search for a seating system conceived as a flexible and disarticulatable structure, that can reshape the new complexity of modern living, marked by extreme planning. The basic feature is that all the component parts, each with their own formal and functional autonomy, have been designed as parts of different spaces and different functions. Large parts in two depths, available in several lengths, fitted with special cushioning that enables the depth of the ergonomic seat to be varied.
The tailoring is exasperated, the frames are all “marked” by these double seams that exalt the forms; the back cushion, conceived as a quilted blanket lying over the back of the seat, helps the shoulders to find a perfectly ergonomic seat. The various pouffs, of different sizes, reflect the refined workmanship and fit in harmoniously with the seating.
The base is not just a simple passe-partout, but the frame of the rounded profiles that sinuously accompanies the shape of the Pewter finishing on the floor, raising the seating and providing a floating and extremely lightweight effect. A complete and calibrated collection with perfect aesthetic balance, refinement and versatility.
