PLUMY Sofa
- Designer: Annie Hiéronimus
- Material: Structuring base in polyether foam
- Manufacturer: PLUMY made in France
The 1980s inspired the Plumy line and is a revival of the famous model that first debuted over 35 years ago. Plumy’s enveloping design, made entirely of bonded blocks of polyether and Bultex polyurethane foams of various densities, is the ultimate embodiment of comfort and relaxation. To offer a tailored and soothing experience, all seat and backrest cushions are stuffed with goose feathers and can be folded into a chaise lounge posture. The backs of the cushions are offered in two styles: cloth or upholstered in the same material as the main covering. The seat coverings are removable and have a zipper. They are available in three colours: matte black, pearl grey, and ivory.
