Bolete Lounge BIO®
Patricia Urquiola
The Bolete Lounge BIO® collection is a line of upholstered seating characterized by its unique pop aesthetic. Bolete, originally a modular sofa system, has expanded to include a new chair and a multipurpose table. It can be customized with a wide variety of upholstery options and the central base comes in four options: black, basalt gray, terracotta, and sand. The central base of Bolete Lounge BIO® stands out for its distinctive ribbed texture, giving the piece more personality. In this case, it’s made with the exclusive BIO® thermopolymer Andreu World developed, a material of 100% natural origin, non-fossil, that is compostable and biodegradable at the end of its life cycle. The versatile design of this collection adapts to a wide variety of spaces, from homes to hotels and restaurants, as well as work environments, waiting areas, and meeting rooms.
Bolete Occasional Table
The perfect complement
Bolete also offers a line of complementary side tables that combine its iconic base with various dimensions and tabletop materials, making each piece unique and special and adding a visual play of volumes and textures to spaces. It consists of three table versions: a large one with a diameter of 1200 mm and a height of 360 mm, and two small ones with diameters of 450 mm and heights of 450 mm or 550 mm. The tabletops are available in various materials such as oak, lacquer, technical stone, and marble, allowing customizations to its design according to the aesthetics and needs of each space.
Bolete Chair
The family grows
This new chair, designed by Patricia Urquiola, also has the ability to transform environments, whether public or private, bringing a unique and original character with unmistakable style with its organic forms and sculptural base. Distinctive and comfortable, ergonomics are a fundamental feature of its design, thanks to the bold geometry of the seat and its generous width, which offers optimal support for various forms and sitting postures. The upholstery work is done on an internal shell made with our Pure ECO® thermopolymer, created from 100% recycled materials and fully recyclable and reusable.
Bolete Conference Table
Versatile, connected, and sustainable
The Bolete Conference table is a series of tables for dining, meeting, and conference situations that bring character, sustainability, and functionality to both corporate and private spaces. Versatility is achieved thanks to the wide variety of shapes and materials of the tabletops that can be adapted to the distinctive design of its ribbed base, created by Patricia Urquiola. They are offered in round, square, rectangular, or elliptical formats with different widths and lengths in finishes such as oak, lacquer, glass, HPL laminate, linoleum, technical stone, or marble, allowing the table to be customized according to the needs of each space. The base is made with our Pure ECO® thermopolymer, made from 100% recycled materials, making it fully recyclable and reusable. It has a robust appearance and can accommodate technical developments inside that add extensive possibilities of electrical and multimedia connectivity for work. It also has an optional cover or access panel, which simplifies wiring and maintenance.
Almo Lounge
Benjamin Hubert
A chair that adapts to the body, the Almo Lounge is a line of reclining armchairs for domestic and corporate spaces with a welcoming design available with an optional wider headrest to create a sense of privacy. Its name, Almo, comes from “Pillow,” a comfortable cushion that invites relaxation. With its softly padded interior that wraps around the sitter, this armchair elevates waiting areas and lobbies, turning them into havens of tranquility. Its embracing arms hug and welcome the user, emphasizing full-body comfort.
With a 4-blade swivel aluminum base, Almo includes a synchronized reclining system that can be locked in any position to respond to ergonomic considerations, being compatible with the whole body regardless of how it is reclined. The backrest is divided into two parts and the exterior of its backrest can be wrapped in walnut wood plywood, creating a beautiful composition. The chair features an exterior that stands out for its careful and finely worked upholstery and an inner seat that is soft and comforting.
Almo Lounge can function individually or together in a wide variety of environments, from residential to corporate, commercial, hospitality, and public spaces. This quiet space is ideal for reading, watching media, resting, or working with a laptop.
The design of Almo Lounge completely avoids the use of glue, facilitating the individual removal of the upholstery for washing, replacement, or updating. This feature not only simplifies product maintenance but also encourages the possibility of disassembling the chair at the end of its life cycle, facilitating its recycling and contributing to waste reduction and environmental sustainability.
Brezal Outdoor
Patricia Urquiola
This new modular sofa collection invites its users to enjoy leisure and relaxation in outdoor environments. It seamlessly integrates modern techniques with traditional elements, achieving a harmonious fusion between the past and present in outdoor design. It consists of different sofa modules with an aluminum frame and independent cushions for the seat and backrest.
Brezal captures the vibrant essence of the Mediterranean landscape. Its designer, Patricia Urquiola, drew inspiration from the iconic wicker motif, reinterpreting it with industrial technologies in aluminum work. With an artisanal use of rope, its arms and backrest are crafted with panels of handwoven fabric, evoking a sense of intimacy and comfort, creating surfaces that offer refuge against the elements and provide exceptional comfort in use. A collection for relaxation, the Brezal sofa can be configured with 1-seater, 2-seater, corner, island, chaise longue modules, which can also come with or without backrest, as well as a square table module, which can be integrated into the modular composition. The collection also offers armchairs, chairs with and without arms, and stools that use the same weaving language on their seat and backrest.
Additionally, it is complemented by side tables and coffee tables in a wide range that combine rope work with a selection of materials for its surface that can be added to the sofa modules or function independently as side tables. They are available in round (in two sizes), square, and rectangular versions, with a selection of different materials for their surface (top), such as technical stone, terrazzo marble, and compact HPL.
Manufactured under eco-design processes and criteria, each element of this collection has been conceived with the aim of reducing its environmental impact and promoting responsible practices. The materials used are Cradle to Cradle® certified, ensuring that they are produced and used sustainably, and can be recycled at the end of their useful life. The wood used is FSC 100%, sourced from responsibly managed forests, while the aluminum used is 100% recyclable, thus contributing to the conservation of natural resources.
