Pack Sofa

SKU #Pack_Sofa

Overview

Introduced in 2017, Pack is a large sofa with two base elements that visually suggest an ice floe covered with a fabric specifically created with a texture that connotes the complexity of the ice layers. Lying atop the base is a backrest in the form of a bear resting on its side. Covered by ecological fur, this “bear bolster” is weighted within and sports a non-slip leather underside. As much sculpture as it is seating, the Pack sofa evokes the coziness and playfulness of childhood memories of a favorite stuffed animal while perhaps simultaneously serving as a poignant reminder of climate change. A second "bear bolster" can be ordered separately. Manufactured by Edra.

Francesco Binfare

Francesco Binfaré (born 1939 in Milan, Italy) achieved his artistic education under his father's direction and started working for Cassina in 1960. At first as a researcher for new technologies; then as Cesare Cassina's assistant for both new projects and the realization of prototypes. From 1969 to 1976 he was the director of the Centro Cassina and participated in the creation of the several 20th century design icons including Gateano Pesce's Up Series (1969) and Paolo Deganello's AEO chair (1973). He helped bring to fruition several other seminal Cassina projects - Toshiyuki Kita's Wink (1980), Getano Pesce's Tramonto a New York (1980) and Feltri (1987), and Paolo Deganello's Torso (1982). In 1992, Binfare was invited by Massimo Morozzi to design for Edra. His early work for Edra included L'Homme et la Femme (1993), Tangeri (1994) and Angels (1996) for Edra. In the 21st century, Binfare has created a number of new seating icons - On the Rocks (2004), Flap (2006), Absolu (2015), and Essential (2016).
