Mdf Italia - Fuji S Bicolor pouf

Fuji is the new collection of informal seats designed by Francesco Rota, whose large and generous volumes and sweet and trapezoidal silhouette recall the conical shape of the Japanese volcano. Finally dressed in a wide range of fabrics and colors, they make it easy to insert in any context for an occasional and/ or accessory seat.

Supporting structure made of polystyrene (PS), multilayer base with hidden feet. Padding in differentiated density polyurethane foam and lining in polyester wadding.

The upholstery in fabric or leather is packed to enhance the softness, covers the sofa in all its parts and is completely removable.
