Soft Dream
Challenge oneself with the quest to design a sofa that encourages
dreaming. A challenge met with determination that led to the concept of the
Soft Dream sofa, one whose name proclaims its features. Versatile,
flexible, chameleon-like – this is the personality of the Soft Dream seating
system. Lightweight, the sofa rises above the floor on elegant cast-metal grey
or bronze painted feet, also available in satin, chrome, burnished, champagne
or black chrome finish.
Resting on the cowhide-upholstered metal base are the soft,
generously-filled goose-down seat and seat back cushions. The armrests come in
high and low versions and double-depth – 94 cm for the Soft Dream version and
110 cm for the Soft Dream Large – making Soft Dream a versatile sofa that is
comfortably at home in almost any setting.
