nigel coates’ bump sofa for l’abbate offers voluptuous comfort

 

 

 

expressing the anthropomorphic language that is his signature, nigel coates offers up a new voluptuous seating piece for l’abbate. humorously titled ‘bump’, the compact armchair, with its neat dimensions, gives one the physical feeling of be wrapped up by a ‘chunky roll’.

structurally, ‘bump’ is composed of a steel frame that forms the backrest and seat, with moulded polyurethane foam padding used to give the design its full and sensuous shape; and shaped foam with polyester wadding placed in areas where added comfort is needed. elastic belts are employed to provide springing. all supported by four feet in solid ashwood completed with a matte sating finish, ‘bump’ is upholstered in leather, faux leather or fabric. nigel coates l'abbate designboom
