Description
Taking its name from the shell of a sea snail, Abalon forms its own architecture for seating circles: with its organically curved shape, the sofa evokes a circle to which people feel drawn. Generously accommodating three people, the upholstered seat shell features different knitted fabric covers on the front and back. These are available in a diverse selection of hues and, together with the choice of two colours for the base frame, result in a wide range of configuration options. The fabric covers can be removed in full for cleaning or replacement.

Brand
Vitra is much more than a brand but rather a staple of design. Established in 1950 in Birsfelden, Switzerland, the brand has left its mark in design history through its transcending path. Starting as a furniture producer, it paved its way to manufacturing and ultimately becoming the powerhouse design institution we see today.
