Designed by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso, Gentry is the result of a search for meticulous and well-balanced comfort. This sofa subtly pokes fun at the term 'bourgeoisie' by expressing above all the sofa a way-of-being – a sensitive approach to finding the right balance between discipline and freedom. The large cushions, backrest and seat make it comfortable whether you're sitting up straight or lounging on it. All of which ensures Moroso's Gentry a central place in the living room and that it will become a friend for life. The sofa is made from injected flame-retardant foam and polyester fibre with an internal steel frame. The legs are made from chrome-plated or powder-coated tubular steel. The seat cushions are made from goose down over polyurethane foam. The back and armrest cushions and cushions are made from goose down. The sofa is available in a wide variety of upholstery fabrics, with removable covers. Contact us for more information, or visit one of our SILVERA showrooms.
