Concepto
Volúmenes geométricos delicados, con tapizado de tela o piel, sostenidos por sutiles estructuras en barra de acero barnizadas con colores metalizados: este es el concepto del que nace Traffic, una colección entera de muebles acolchados que conjuga sencillez y refinamiento, usando también el color como un lenguaje expresivo y multiforme. Jugando con proporciones diferentes, del concepto de base de Traffic adquieren forma múltiples declinaciones: un sillón, un sofá de dos y de tres plazas, un banco en dos versiones, una chaise longue y una isla. A la colección se añadiron dos mesas de centro a la colección, una grande y una pequeña, y otra mesa de centro más alta, siempre con la estructura de barra de acero pero con tablero de piedra artificial: una ulterior sensación de materialidad que se añade al panorama doméstico o comunitario.
