malafor: blow collection

polish design practice malafor has created 'blow collection': this three-piece seating series features inflatables
made with dakron fabric, a synthetic and weather-resistant polyester fiber commonly found in yachts' sails.
this series expands on malafor's previous project, 'blow sofa', which created a similar form but used recycled
paper bags.

the collection includes a new 'blow sofa', 'explore armchair', and 'explore chair', whose pillow covers are all
manufactured by a professional sailmaker: original strengthening stitches have been applied and coupled with the
technologically advanced material, the resulting cushions are durable and safe to use outdoors in changing
weather conditions. like its predecessor, the new 'blow collection' is also easy to transport when flat and simple to inflate.
