We would like to pay Hella Jongerius a compliment here, the Polder Sofa for Vitra is by far the most ‘used’ sofa we get so far. Almost without exception, you can see that it has been gratefully used by the whole family.
Such a design sofa may be perceived as ‘beautiful’ and ‘innovative’, but it is and remains an object of use and, in the case of the Polder Sofa, the traces of grateful use are usually clearly visible and there is a great need to have the sofa fully restored again. A greater compliment a designer cannot get. Thank you Hella, for designing a Dutch design classic!
