A design armchair with soft, generous contours, designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa in the 1960s to bring home casual comfort, is swathed in premium Japanese denim, in a limited edition that elevates its unconventional spirit. The denim is processed to make it soft and comfortable. A special treatment lends it the typical faded look of worn jeans. The metal structure holds the armchair in a vise-like grip, creating several different contemporary colour pairings. The denim version of Soriana maintains the same sustainable approach as its namesake and comes with circular materials for both the structure and the padding. Even the denim is processed in an eco-friendly manner, limiting the use of water. The idea for this armchair that changed the face of upholstered furniture belongs to Afra and Tobia Scarpa, who designed it in 1969, starting with the new possibilities offered by the forming of polyurethane foam to create an unconventional look of leisure. with a vise-like grip, the metal structure holds the armchair, with its biodegradable internal padding that, for the first time ever, needs no internal support, intensifying the comfort level of this upholstered chair in the most freeing sense of the word.
