Диван Vitra ALCOVE PLUME CONTRACT FAUTEUIL

Alcove Plume Contract dispenses with visible legs and an external tubular steel frame, which emphasises its reductive design and almost makes it appear like a minimalist sculpture.‎ With their cubic shapes, both sofas serve as architectural elements that can be used to structure interior spaces.‎ In contrast to their emphatically linear contours, they offer the soft comfort of a lounge sofa and bring a sense of familiarity and cosiness to offices and public spaces.‎

Materials:
- Structural frame: powder-coated steel, no external tubular frame.‎
- Back and side panels: integrated MDF panels for structural support; panel elements connected by zip fasteners.‎
- Seat cushion: multilayer PU foam upholstery with Bonnell spring core.‎ The seat cushions can be individually detached and the fabric seat covers are removable.‎ Seat height 410 mm (measured according to EN 1335-1 = 310 mm).‎
- Back cushions: filled with PU foam and PE fleece.‎
- Legs: tubular steel, chrome-plated or powder-coated (smooth).‎

The 'room in a room' is a concept that Vitra has intensively pursued over many years in collaboration with the designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.‎ The idea of mobile micro-architectural elements has led to a wide variety of designs, among which the Alcove Sofa stands out as one of the most remarkable.‎
The various Alcove sofas were conceived for open-plan offices, where they provide sheltered, private spaces in busy or hectic surroundings.‎ This makes them a perfect place to withdraw for concentrated work or small meetings.‎
The different models in the Alcove family can be variably combined, thus offering a diverse range of possibilities for organising open-plan offices without having to install fixed structures.‎ This enables the creation of cohesive central areas in open office environments – Meet & Retreat zones with a unifi ed aesthetic.‎
