polder ottoman
Design Hella Jongerius, 2005/2015
Wooden frame, polyurethane foam, upholstery
Made in Germany by Vitra
In the home country of Dutch designer Hella Jongerius, the word 'polder' refers to low-lying flatlands, typically subdivided into fields serving various agricultural purposes, that have been reclaimed from the sea by means of dykes and drainage canals. With their flat surfaces, low-slung body and horizontal emphasis, both Polder sofas evoke the characteristic features of the polder landscape.
The upholstered cushions and body of the ottoman are covered with fabrics in carefully coordinated hues and weaves. In place of standard upholstery fabrics, textiles developed exclusively for Vitra by Hella Jongerius are used as cover materials. Please note: cover material is recommended for residential use only.
