Polder Sofa

Hella Jongerius, 2005/2015
The Polder Sofa is a new update of the Polder XS sofa by Hella Jongerius, in celebration of the original sofa's 10th anniversary. This version has a slightly revised shape, richer colours, and increased comfort thanks to its deeper seat cushions and reimagined style. The Dutch word "Polder" refers to reclaimed land from the sea, by means of canals and dikes. The sofa references this term in its low lying, undulating landscape and silhouette. The Polder is available with a matching ottoman, which can be used as a foot stool or to the side to add extra length to the sofa.

In Holland Polder refers to the artificial land reclaimed from the sea by means of dikes and drainage canals. The corpus of the Polder Sofa is just as low-lying, just as flat, and with just as much emphasis on the horizontal.

Materials: wooden frame; backrest cushions: polyurethane foam with polyester fleece and chamber cushions; seat cushions: polyurethane foam with interactive pocket spring core, chamber cushions and polyester fleece. This version of the Polder sofa comes with the ottoman already included in the price, as it is part of the overall design.
