Botan Collection by Benedetta Tagliabue

Italian designer Benedetta Tagliabu has created a wonderful series of modular upholstered furniture for Passione Nature. Sofa, pouffe and peninsula are perfectly combined with each other, forming whimsical flowers from a magical garden, because it is not for nothing that the collection was called Botan, which means “peony” in Japanese. At the base of the sofa there is a wooden element, and the “body” is made of fabric. Solid wood frame, toxin-free glue, natural linen and cotton - the materials for the collection are exclusively environmentally friendly. The fabrics are made in the same color scheme, but with different patterns, in order to enhance the “floral” effect when combining several items. Printed with Eco Label certified inks.

Iceberg felt

The first prize in the Best Sofa 2014 category from the French community of architects and designers ArchiDesignClub, in partnership with Muuuz magazine, went to a felt iceberg by Jean-Marie Massot. Designed for the Swedish manufacturer Offecct, the sofa, despite its innovative design, is stable, comfortable and unique, making it very modern. Inspired by abstract forms with a vacuum inside, the author created a flexible design with many springs and synthetic filling covered with felt. The name of this conceptual object is a play on words (air - air, berg - from iceberg), the kit also includes asymmetric armchairs worthy of the "big brother". The Airberg upholstered furniture series was created for public interiors - lounge areas in hotels, clubs, restaurants and creative offices.
