naaaaah...
She makes nice ceramics , but this sofa is... really bad.
The best sofa this year (in my opinion)is the basket designed by the Bouroullec brothers , for cappellini

It's a little cumbersome and a little contemporary to me.
Have you seen the Bouroullec brothers' new collection for Lignet Roset? It's a sofa, loveseat, chair, and two ottoman set. I would love to have a pair of the chairs ....

what the HELLa...
no, I can see easily the logic behind the idea and as a person who favors the classic tuxedo its not for me, a "second"sofa for (well off art types) she is someone to follow her designs are thoughtful as well as thought inducing...

Yes for the Poldersofa!
They say, you cannot argu about taste, but i like this sofa more and more.
First i thought it was overdone, but now i see the genius behind it. Due to form and different fabrics, this poldersofa really distinguise it selfs from the other "design" sofa's who merily looks all the same.
I'm going to buy this sofa in beige!

I LOVE it !
I fell in love with this sofa from the first second I saw it !
It has a clean, straight shape that is very modern, while the fabric and buttons make it very cosy. I am seriousely concidering buying this sofa for a couple of months now. The only thing I don't like about it is the price though... 😛

agree about the price though. I don't think I could live with the thought of having paid 4700 Euro for a sofa... not even this beauty...

Mmm, taste is subjective....
Mmm, taste is subjective. But I do not like this sofa very much, I think she did much nicer stuff in her ceramics range.
If you would Rorschach test me with this sofa, ?indecision? would intuitively pop: it looks like an absence of clear choices, somewhat of a brainstorm prototype. The things I like, for instance the Suomi range from the recently deceased Timo Sarpaneva, all radiate a timeless harmony. Timo Sarpaneva sticks to one concept for his Suomi range such as an elliptical shape, and chooses the other aspects in such a way that they enhance the primal feature. On top of that, he used repetition of shapes and forms to create a sense of harmony. Koen has done a lovely Suomi resume in another thread. I notice nothing of the kind in this poldersofa model: The sofa has got 4 or 5 different colors, six or more different shapes, different heights, different use of buttons etc etc. On the whole, it looks a little too hotch potch for my taste.
I have got one more reservation regarding this sofa: if the sofa itself is already this busy, what would happen when you were to put people on it ? I guess they would visually drown in the 5 different colours, 6 different shapes. This is also why I like plain china: plates that are too adorned with pattern hardly leave any visual space for food. I like china that can leave the centre stage for food, and sofas that leave room for people. I do not like home furniture that pushes the living out.

Whitespikes idea is interesting..
I could definitely be tempted by a couple of Bouroullec facett seats or even a sofa ! The stitched form looks graphically and appealing. Would love to sit in one at some point..
I would however, stay away from the yellow & black combination (as in the photo): visions of huge dissected bees & wasps lounging in the living room linger. Perhaps something out of one of those horror movies: attack of the killer bees.
