Mariposa Sofa, Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby, 2014
The variously sized sofas of the Mariposa family are cosy and inviting, yet
with a modern touch. They owe their extraordinary comfort to the pleasantly
soft upholstery and an ingenious adjustment mechanism, which makes it
possible to individually adapt the side and backrest elements for various
sitting or reclining positions. The Mariposa sofas do not openly display their
functional features: the slim side and back elements can be continuously
and silently adjusted, from an upright position to an outward angle of
approximately 30° and back again. The resistance is calibrated in such a
way that these elements stay in place when the sitter leans back in a normal
fashion, but will adjust to the desired angle when intentional pressure is
applied. This flexibility allows individual users to determine the position that
is most comfortable for them.
