Palma, tra radicale e tradizione

Palma stems from a “challenge” posed by Meritalia® to Francesco Meda: to create a seating system with a vaguely bourgeois and elegant aura, while conserving the avant-garde spirit of the company. A product that would be functional and not too eccentric. Meda answers the question “what sofa would you like to put in your own home?, creating an almost archetypal possible design that reflects the finest heritage of the Italian tradition, but also reinterpreting it in a “radical” tone, conserving the recognizable substance that has always set the brand apart.

This sofa, which can be completed in an ideal arrangement with its matching armchair, features a strong contrast between the cushions and the shell: the structure is in neutral cowhide, while the cushions of the back and seat are in soft chenille. The firm composure of a “parlor couch” is countered by the free positioning of the cushions.
