The Five furniture is covered in stripe-textured fabric from
Danish textile company Karat. The upholstery is placed at contrasting angles
around each of the pouf’s sides. The material is also tailored into
wedge-shaped sections that form a point at the center of the furniture piece –
an arrangement designed to resemble “lines of neatly ploughed fields”. The
poufs are available in blue, grey, black and pink, and feature softly rounded
edges to contrast their geometric form. Resting on a wooden frame, the
foam-filled furniture has feet that are hidden beneath the base.
“The Five pouf explores the possibilities and tension of the
pentagon shape,” said Andersen & Vole, which previously reinterpreted
Stefano Giovanni’s Bomb bar stool – a piece that’s appeared in sci-fi films and
TV shows – for Italian brand Magi’s. “The design process was very much about
tailoring; the quilted ribs are seemingly wrapped around the shape and enhance the
dynamics of the pentagon,” said the studio. “The quilting adds softness to the
seat, and the textiles we have chosen for Five are very responsive to the
undulating surface of the cover,” they added.
The Five collection was exhibited at Paris trade fair Maison&Objet in September 2015.
