Retreat 2,5 seater
In Retreat, the poetry lies in the warmth evoked by the design and materials, and in the thoughtful composition of its parts — how they meet and flow into one another.
About
Designer Monica Förster seeks not only function, but also the poetry of things — that which awakens a sense of wonder. She often achieves this through subtle gestures and details that quietly challenge our expectations. In Retreat, the poetry lies in the warmth evoked by the design and materials, and in the thoughtful composition of its parts — how they meet and flow into one another. Notice how the gently folded cushions form the armrests, suggesting the presence of a human hand.
