Furniture with leather upholstery always looks elegant and dignified, but often somewhat conservative. So it might initially seem surprising that Hella Jongerius, together with Vitra, is now introducing a dark leather version of the Polder Sofa – especially when the unconventional and fresh appearance of the original Polder Sofa has been the primary reason for its wide and enthusiastic reception. However, the Dutch designer achieves the feat of combining dignity and freshness. Upon closer observation, one discovers that she has transferred the effect of varied colours in the textile version of the Polder Sofa to the topstitching and buttons in the leather version. And the powerful impact of such small design details is astonishing. Against the background of the dark brown nappa leather, the various red hues of the stitching and buttons almost begin to glow. Their vigour and charm immediately dispel potential associations with staid, traditional furnishings.

A noteworthy accessory of the Polder Sofa XS leather is the rectangular arm bolster. With linear topstitching and an eye-catching strap handle, it is not only a pleasure to use, but also a striking visual accent.

The Polder Sofa XS leather is exclusively available in the version XS.
