A sofa can become a room of its own
within a room. This is especially true of the
Alcove Highback Sofa System, whose side
and back panels tower over the heads of
those sitting in it. Thanks to the outstan-
ding acoustic qualities of the sofa system
and its function as a visual screen, it
creates a truly peaceful oasis — especially
in spacious areas (lobbies, lounges, halls,
etc.). The system consists of three modules:
a corner element, a central element and a
right and left side element.
Materials:
ƒ Supporting structure: tubular steel with
belt upholstery
ƒ Carcass: very high back and side panels
for visual and acoustic isolation, with
incorpo rated MDF panel, connected by zip
faste ners
ƒ Upholstery/seat: polyurethane foam and
polyester wadding

ƒ Backrest cushions and set of cushions:
polyurethane chips and microfibre filling;
the set of cushions is available separately
ƒ Covers: removable
ƒ Legs: polished chrome tubular steel with
threaded adjustment
