When designing the Esedra pouf Monica Förster took her inspiration from the large circular woven straw forms typical of Lapp handicrafts. The result is an inviting disk-shaped pouf of natural simplicity. Large, slightly overlapping segments create a refined decorative effect.
The particular workmanship develops from the centre of the seat, which becomes the heart of a striking sunray effect. The internal structure of the Esedra pouf is made from birch plywood and solid beech. The base is in wood lacquered with black scratch-resistant textured paint. The padding is in polyurethane foam and polyester wadding. The upholstery is in Pelle Frau® leather.
Upholstery available in a range of leather grades and colours. Contact us for more information.
