Polder Sofa contains a mix of fabrics, colours, industrial elements and craft details. The name and the design refer to the typical Dutch ‘polder’ landscape: the artificial land reclaimed from the sea by means of long horizontal dykes and intersecting drainage canals. Polder Sofa was Jongerius’ first industrially designed piece of furniture and marked the start of an intense collaboration with Vitra.
