‘pilotis’ is a three seat sofa by french designer philippe nigro for italian company depadova. the design is made with five legs that have adjustable feet that gravitate around the upholstered seat. sloping like the scaffolding of a construction, the stable nature of the natural or black oak base contrasts the softness of the bench, fabricated from goosedown with polyurethane foam support which is covered in either orange or grey removable cotton fabric. the back structure is made from steel with injection moulded polyurethane foam lined with polyester.
