Poltronova SAFARI Sectional fiberglass sofa with faux fur covering

The Safari sofa is a multiple seat with the profile of the backrest shaped like a series of waves, one gathers in the central void, accessed through an opening, as in a sort of tribal ritual.‎ The piece of furniture consists of four pieces of two different types [two armchair modules and two sofa modules].‎ The Safari sofa was put into production for the first time by Poltronova in 1968.‎ The experimental fibreglass technique was used for the structure.‎ For the seat and backrest upholstery, Archizoom chose a printed animal pattern fabric with a Leopard print.‎ The same pattern is used for the polyurethane foam rug placed between the seats.‎ The choice of the leopard pattern was a cultured reference to the work “Bedroom ensemble" [1963] by Claes Oldenburg, master of Pop Art, and his subsequent “Leopard chair" [1963], but also to a Kitsch taste adopted by the group in polemic with the need to make form follow function.‎ It is part of the permanent collection of prestigious museums including the Centre Pompidou and the Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal.‎ It has taken part in numerous exhibitions.‎ Materials: Frame: fibreglass Padding: polyurethane foam Covering: faux fur covering with leopard animal pattern Rug: polyurethane foam covered in faux fur with leopard animal pattern Colors: Frame: black or white Covering: spotted grey or spotted yellow  Further info from manufacturer on SAFARI Poltronova
