THE JUMPIN' SOFA
A Venetian noblewoman wearing Miyake at sunset
From the calm Adriatic Sea towards the Julian Alps
A sofa stands next to her
A sofa that jumps
Where have you ever seen a jumping sofa?
It has never been seen before, because The Jumpin’ Sofa is a unique sofa.
It is a sofa in motion
Representation of an inner intimate and profound movement
It is a vessel in the stormy waters of life, sailing towards the borders of Europe, towards the Eastern Roman Empire, lost between Gemistus Plethon and Richard Wagner
Scattered fragments resound in the ear
Sturm und Drang
Uccidiamo il chiaro di luna!
Construction Techniques
The Jumpin’ Sofa is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, designed with meticulous attention to detail and constructed using the finest materials.
The sofa’s frame is made entirely of solid oak wood, featuring a structure of spars and ribs reminiscent of wooden boats, ensuring durability and stability. The external cladding is crafted from high-quality red fir wood sourced from Val di Fiemme. This wood is polished with shellac and beeswax, giving it a lustrous finish akin to Stradivari’s violins.
The seat and backrest are upholstered in precious cardinal red silk velvet, providing a luxurious and elegant look. This fabric is finished with a capitonné quilt, adding a touch of sophistication. The upholstery rests on a foundation made with belts and jute canvas, iron springs, wadding, and vegetable fiber. This traditional method ensures comfort and resilience, maintaining the sofa’s shape and support over time.
