Large Dobra Sofa by Wentz

About the Item

Large Dobra Sofa by Wentz Dimensions: D 110 x W 110 x H 70 cm Materials: Modular sofa with wood structure, elastic straps, hyper-soft foam and WE—KNIT covering (70% Recycled PET + 30% Elastane). Base in black painted wood and EVA botton finishing to avoid the modules to slide appart. The Dobra series was created from a natural gesture: folding a soft material. A force is applied to each piece that respects the resistance and density of the foam. It's as if a large cushion curved and paused in time. The exclusive WE-KNIT coating — 3D mesh made from recycled PET — combines a tactile experience, with high resistance to use and sustainability. This is one of the possible modules for the Dobra Sofa and can also be used individually as an armchair.
