Eufolia, though not exactly in common parlance, is defined in the urban dictionary<\/em> as \u201cpleasant flower\u201d or \u201canything good or positive.\u201d For Marcel Wanders, clearly EUFOLIA is much more dimensional. In his most recent offering to the CIRCLE OF HARMONY – LIVE THE TRANSITION collection, PJ Natuzzi\u2019s stunning collection of design-forward furnishings and decor, there is a sense of the euphoria of the moment meeting the foliage of the Mediterranean. In fact PJ has said of the collection, \u201cthis is the Mediterranean revealing itself in the most imaginative way.\u201d\u00a0 Marcel Wanders Studio brims with this energy and it reveals itself in all they do. Even the creative team, led by Gabriele Chiave, can\u2019t resist making goofy faces and donning fake noses on their team web page. Adding the riotous Wanders\/Chiave to Natuzzi\u2019s dream showcard of designers for this collection was only natural. The playful, self-effacing joie de vivre which is the essence of Marcel and Gabriele\u2019s studio plays out in their collaboration with PJ and the EUFOLIA SOFA<\/a> is a natural riff off that willingness to experiment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inflection point, according to Gabriele Chiave, was to create something \u201con a different scale\u201d than many of the offerings by Natuzzi<\/a> which tend to be quite grand; something that was more suitable for an urban lifestyle. The sofa needed to be light. This had to be a sectional that could combine and reconfigure to define living space to generate room for imagination, relaxation, and celebration. The jazz of the EUFOLIA SOFA becomes an episodic tablature built around a theme, low-rise chaise poised abreast a pocketed table with horizontal sliding compartment, all counterpointing a two seat setee. The piece is elevated on a light stainless, brushed Steel that taper offering another hint of elegance. The core spun BYBORRE fabric is a double-sided, high density fabric selected for its robust, lush knit. It is wool and synthetic blended in a sustainable, low carbon yarn that offers strength and consistency of drape in a carbon conscious upholstery. In other words, it hits every note in terms of form and function while still presenting a crisp extensile outline like any classic number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
