Basket Sofa
The Cappellini Basket Sofa by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec gathers generous cushions within a matte-painted metal frame.
Two- and three-seat sofas and a wide armchair share the design, with removable fabric or leather covers and options for mixed upholstery. Layered cushions and a choice of frame colors create opportunities for both restrained and contrasting combinations.
Every detail, considered.
