Patricia Urquiola came up with the name "Bend", also the English word for "curve", to underscore the particular movement of this product, the quality of which can be guaranteed only by an industrial process.
Bend-Sofa is a modular sofa that looks like it was formed by an artist, but it was really created from a study of 3D models and digital research. Patricia Urquiola imagined this piece as follows: "a seat with a primary, monolithic and almost manually moulded shape, as though it had been created from a ductile material with gestures not unlike those of a sculptor." She called it Bend-Sofa because it effectively expresses the idea of movement obtained by alternating full and empty volumes, underscored by the contrasting stitching that creates another pattern on the irregular, curved surface.
A product with a great personality that can be used to produce original and alternative seating solutions that are outside traditional canons. Freshness, colour, liveliness, composition freedom and soft lines all emerge from the communication of Bend-Sofa.
It conveys the impression of having been moulded by an artist but actually derives from a study of 3D models and digital research. It seems a monolith that has been shaped by subtraction, rounded and moulded by the designer. The irregular shape enhances comfort, the contrasting seams define the design and movement. Bend Sofa combines manual skills and technology, solidity and strength, along with considerable flexibility in terms of use ensured by the extensive range of models.The distinctive originality of Bend-Sofa is combined with a detailed compositional study. The corrugated modules whose assembly starts with the seating, ottoman and corner elements allow a broad range of possible solutions - from linear versions in compact sizes for use in areas with limited space, to layouts that are complex and far-ranging.
