Meet the Canapé des Calanques, a unique settee inspired by the natural beauty of the côte d’azur. This upholstered piece is more than just a sofa, it’s an object that captures the essence of the iconic Calanques that dot the coastline.
Crafted using different fabrics, the Canapé des Calanques is like having a three-dimensional postcard right in your own home. The plush green mohair from Pierre Frey mimics the windswept Aleppo pine trees, while the strata-riffic weave from Metaphores captures the rugged limestone rock formations.
But it’s the rich bouclé fabric from Nobilis that really brings this piece to life, evoking the shimmering blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. And with leather pipe detailing, a lacquered maple base, and carefully layered foam upholstery, this settee is not only stylish but comfortable too.
“…But even giants grow weary, and so it was that this mighty creature sought respite in the cool, azure waters of the sea. As the limestone giant immersed itself, the salted sea began to dissolve it, a slow, inexorable decay that rendered the sedimentary body ever smaller and jagged. Yet, from the giant’s decay arose a new landscape of twisted flora that nestled its way into the crumbling rock, forming a maze of material melange. An unexpected sacrifice that gave rise to a breathtaking new world.”
