ERNO
Padded and versatile poufs, geometric shapes to articulate outdoor spaces
“It is a variant of the ottoman pouf, raised off the ground and lacking in metal structures, but is made from recyclable cork and minimal elements made of recyclable aluminium , which give it the necessary elevation. In a globalized environment, I think it is important to understand the past in order to contextualize contemporary design in this transcultural and timeless framework.”

ERNO adapts the concept of the indoor sofa to outdoor use too. It is a collection of versatile poufs upholstered in quilted, grid-shaped fabric, that are joined together to create different seating arrangements. The series is completed by other pieces identical to the poufs, but they are taller so they act as armrests and backrests. As well as providing comfort, these multiply the possibilities for building different environments.
