Yes, the Bergamo polyester fabric is highly durable with a 50,000-rub rating, making it well-suited for daily use. It features a water-repellent, dirt-loosening finish and is specifically designed for easy maintenance.
Yes, the high-quality fabric covers are removable and washable. This makes it much easier to keep the sofa looking fresh, even with the casual, soft aesthetic of the cushions.
Designed by Rolf Heide, the sofa balances a structured, rigid plywood box frame with plush, casual cushions. It offers a relaxed, comfortable sit that leans more toward lounging than formal upright support.
The overall dimensions are 4250 mm in width and 865 mm in depth. Given its significant length, it is best suited for larger living areas or open-plan rooms where it can serve as a central seating landscape.
The Bergamo fabric has a light fastness rating of 5, which indicates good resistance to fading. While no fabric is entirely immune to direct, prolonged sun exposure, this rating is quite high for residential upholstery.
