Vitra sofas: Polder Compact

The Polder Compact Sofa is a distinctive and sculptural sofa designed by Hella Jongerius, who is known for playful textile combinations and asymmetrical details. It has a low, elongated expression and a unique button closure that gives it an artistic mark. The seat is built up of several layers of foam and feather filling.

Colour worlds

The Polder Compact Sofa comes in four colour worlds named after landscapes: The Antarctic Blues, The Earth Reds, The Pebble Greys and The Sea Greens. Each combines several fabrics and tones in one palette. The Slow Sofa is upholstered in Flocca in Beige with a Chrome base.

In the living room

A low sofa such as Polder suits an open-plan living room where its silhouette is visible. Place it against a wall with a rug and a side table, or float it in the room. Combine it with the Occasional low tables or other Vitra pieces. Polder's button closure and mixed textiles reward a closer look, so it works best where the sofa is seen from several sides, with a plain rug and low tables around it. The textile palette gives the sofa a calm, tonal look, and the compact size makes it easier to place in a smaller room.
