Slide - Gelée pouf

The Gelée Grand pouf is the second element of the collection born from the imagination and deep knowledge of the materials of the designer Roberto Paoli. Made of soft polyurethane with metal core, the pouf takes up the lines of the previous model but with a larger diameter, remaining faithful to the concept that recalls the gummy candy so loved by children.  Gelée Grand is a pouf soft and comfortable but very durable thanks to the presence of an internal metal frame; moreover, it is waterproof, fireproof and easily washable, making it perfect for indoor and outdoor environments.
The Gelée collection evokes softness from the first glance, thanks to its shape that recalls the gummy candies so loved by children. Made of soft polyurethane, the Gelée collection is part of Roberto Paoli’s constant search for new materials to which to associate the perfect shape. Composed of the Gelée stool, the Gelée Grand maxi pouf and the Gelée Lounge armchair, the entire collection is able to give a playful and "greedy" touch to anonymous contract spaces and domestic environments, giving all the comfort of soft polyurethane.

Slide

Giò Colonna Romano knows it well, when he founded SLIDE in 2002: his fancy fantasy matches perfectly with his thirty-year know how in the processing of plastic resins. The first note of amazement is the luminous furniture, which immediately became a must-have in the world of events. Since 2015, his son Marco Colonna Romano has taken over the company with his father’s same desire to grow and innovate. Thanks to a new spirit and the team of young people that work with him, SLIDE has become a beloved company for outdoor furniture: architects and interior designers from all over the world have fallen in love with the new ideas, shapes, materials and tactile textures. Indeed, SLIDE creates complete furniture and entire collections, thanks to the collaboration with some of the most famous designers of the world, such as Alessandro Mendini, Paola Navone, Fabio Novembre, Stefano Giovannoni, Marcel Wanders, Karim Rashid, Marc Sadler, Francesco Favaretto and Marcantonio.
