THE 'FLAP' SOFA DESIGNED BY BINFARÉ FOR EDRA (ITALY)
The incredible and unique Flap Sofa designed by Francesco Binfaré and produced by Edra.
An original typology for a sofa contained in only fourteen centimeters of depth, that renews the traditional concept of sitting, and multiplies performance. The sleek shape of the upholstered base offers nine parts that can each recline at six different angles.
This particular example has been freshly upholstered in the luxurious Warwicks Augustus Wool in ‘Fushia’ and still retains the original branding and ‘EDRA’ zipper sliders.
This piece is available to inspect at our Alexandria Studio via appointment.
