Vitra Polder Sofa XXL '2007' by Hella Jongerius, Dutch Design, Post-Modern

About the Item

Designed in 2005 by Hella Jongerius, the Polder Sofa is named after the Dutch way of organizing the landscape: reclaiming arti­ficial land from the sea by building long horizon­tal dykes and inter­secting drainage canals. With its flat surfaces, low-slung body and horizontal emphasis, the Polder Sofa evokes the characteristic features of the Dutch landscape. The seat cushions of the Polder Sofa form a asymmetrical seating surface, flanked on both sides by the upholstered body. A low armrest is integrated on one end of the Polder Sofa, while the other is bordered by an adjoining platform that also serves as a surface for placing books or trays. The upholstered materials are exclusively developed for Vitra by Hella Jongerius and can be easily removed for cleaning thanks to a simple fastening device: a series of coloured plastic, aluminium and leather buttons. The listed Sofa is the original first generation production, featuring cushions sunken into the body and buttons on the back fastened by uncut threads. The sofa is in completely original condition — upholstery cleaned and fresh — with a pleasant discoloration by use over the years. No holes or tears. This is de largest edition ever made, and no longer in production, measuring 330 cm. A true eyecatcher.
