Designed by Calvi Brambilla for Zanotta, Bumper is a sofa but also a soft sculpture plied out of polyurethane where care for details and quality workmanship are capable of enhancing the value of the curves.
Bumper is built on three overlapping levels of comfort – base, seat and backrest – that determine the distinctive stylistic feature of the design. It can easily be fitted in the middle of the room, thanks to the three-level concept that continues also at the rear, making this sofa appear and feel utterly comfortable.
The seat is a single generously-sized, deep cushion, the backrest is low and bulky in keeping with the armrests, outlining a curved profile and an enveloping shape which welcomes and invites its user to relax. The backrest has a removable cover and is secured to the seat with pin hooks borrowed from the automotive industry, which also inspired the name of the product. The freely-positionable support cushions are padded with recycled and recyclable polyester chips and provide appropriate back support for a more formal front-facing seating position.
The sofa is available in the monobloc and modular versions, developed in a system which includes various end and corner modules, extended armchairs and poufs, to create corner and linear solutions that accommodate various space requirements, in both the residential and the contract & retail industries.
