Tortello

Armchair - Sila Bluette

Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby, 2023

Tortello redefines the concept of armchairs, offering a monolithic design that captivates with its generous, soft, and inviting contours. The name itself leaves nothing to the imagination, mirroring a design that is equally compelling. Tortello’s structure is a marvel of unexpected elements. Its base, a unique tray-like form with a trapezoidal section, is crafted from rotationally molded recycled polyethylene, showcasing a commitment to sustainable design practices. The armchair is then perfected with an elastomer mattress, atop which rests the foamed upper component. This element, enveloped in soft fabric, features a distinctive silhouette accentuated by 'pinched' stitching, adding a touch of elegance and innovation. Tortello champions sustainable manufacturing, employing cutting-edge technologies and materials to minimize environmental impact. The essence of this collection is its focus on circularity and recycling, beginning with a base made from second-life polyethylene. It also incorporates polyurethane foam and thermoplastic elastomers to enhance its shape and comfort. Despite minimal use of polyurethane, Tortello guarantees unparalleled softness through meticulously devised construction techniques. A pivotal aspect of Tortello’s design is its material and construction methodology, allowing for the armchair's components to be assembled without adhesives or glues. This thoughtful approach not only underscores Tortello’s commitment to sustainability but also ensures the armchair can be entirely disassembled for easy recycling. Tortello stands as a testament to responsible design, merging sustainability with luxury and comfort. It’s an armchair that doesn’t just occupy space; it enhances it, inviting users to experience the pinnacle of eco-friendly innovation.
