Patricia Urquiola has designed a surprising series of elements that transform the traditional concept of the sofa. Designed for B&B Italia, the product is named Bend sofa due to its curvaceous albeit monolithic form. Bend gives the appearance of being manually moulded from supple material as if by a sculptor and effectively conveys the idea of motion by alternating full and empty spaces. Contrasting seams add to the intrinsic design on the surface. The backrest is irregularly shaped without compromising comfort. Curved modules — assembled starting with the seats, ottoman and corner elements — form a sofa that breaks away from the usual visual format and differentiates from other contemporary pieces on account of its calculated eccentricity. Bend sofa offers flexible compositions including small linear versions, corner solutions, or a spectacular version that can fill a space with double-sided seating arrangements, becoming the absolute centre of attention with its iconic presence.
