The Banah Dormeuse, designed by Luca Nichetto for Arflex, is a sophisticated daybed defined by an asymmetrical form and a soft, curved silhouette. Introduced in 2021, the design combines generous upholstered volumes with slender metal feet, creating an expressive piece suited to both residential and hospitality interiors. The distinctive character of Banah Dormeuse comes from its flowing geometry. Its asymmetrical shape moves away from the conventional linear structure of a sofa or chaise longue, while carefully defined stitching emphasizes the contours of the upholstered form. Beneath the upholstery, the structure combines birch plywood with a special patented material described as using recyclable technology and low-energy-consumption characteristics. The seat cushion is padded with shaped polyurethane foam in differentiated densities and polyester fiber, creating the substantial upholstered appearance that defines the design.
