Gentry - Sofa C20 (Quick Ship)

Design: Patricia Urquiola (2011).

A project whose origins lie in the search for meticulous and well-balanced comfort restrained yet with a nod to exaggeration. Gentry is about tradition, distinction, and belonging but brave enough to gently poke fun at the negative connotations of ‘bourgeois’. Above all the sofa communicates a way of being, a sensitive approach to finding the right balance between discipline and freedom. The large independent seat- and back cushions mean that the sofa is comfortable when the user sits up properly but that it is also great for lounging around on, and forgetting about “good manners”.

Injected flame-retardant polyurethane foam and polyester fiber over an internal steel frame. Front-back to-leg base is tubular steel with chrome or varnished steel powder coat finish. Seat cushions are in goose down over polyurethane foam. The back, armrest, and optional cushions are goose-down.
