O Vulcano

O Vulcano

The central sofa O Vulcano, with its gentle profile, invites us to choose the ideal posture: reclining as on a chaise longue or sitting as on a regular sofa. A light comes out of its mouth to remind us of its function, yet it is not frightening; on the contrary, it is relaxing.

ITALIAN

Il divano centrale O Vulcano con il suo dolce profilo ci invita a scegliere la giusta postura, sdraiato come in una chaise-longue oppure seduto come in un divano normale. Una luce fuoriesce dalla sua bocca a ricordarci la sua funzione, ma non mette paura anzi, rilassa.
