The Ansel sofas are distinguished by an unexpected combination of materials: fitted into the sleek stainless-steel base is a structure of armrests and backrests made of slats in massive wood. The results are striking and reveal perfect balance between the bold expressiveness of the wood and the lightness of the stainless-steel base, which is finished in an elegant array of epoxy powder-coat colors and clad in water-repellent elastic webbing. Comfort is assured by soft generously padded seat cushions, outlined with elegant grosgrain piping that can be crafted tone-on-tone or in a contrasting shade. In order to keep the Ansel sofas in good condition and maintain them as close as possible to their original state, use of their respective waterproof covers is strongly recommended.
