Gentry Sofa
by Patricia Urquiola, 2011
A project born from the search for a rigorous and measured comfort, containing but with a hint of deformation. Gentry communicates tradition, distinction and belonging, in the rediscovered courage to contrast with subtle irony, the negative judgment of the term "bourgeoisie". The sofa first of all expresses a way of being, a sensitive attitude prone to restoring the balance between discipline and free gesture. The large independent back and seat cushions make conventional as well as casual positions comfortable: "good manners" re-evaluate behaviors that are sometimes disapproved of, it is nice to lie down, rest, read.
Injected flame-retardant foam and polyester fiber with internal steel structure. Bridge feet in chromed or powder coated steel tube. The seat cushions are in goose down with a polyurethane foam insert. The backrest, armrest and optional cushions are in goose down. The Gentry collection is removable.
