What is the Ploum Sofa inspired by?
In French, ‘Ploum’ translates into English to mean ‘Plum’ fruit. The organic profile of the Ploum sofa really is reminiscent of a plump plum. It has rounded curves and inviting contours, with its soft, gentle curvature imitating the fullness of a ripe fruit.
__
Is the Ploum Settee comfortable in real life?
Yes, the Ploum Settee is very comfortable to sit and lie on. With its family friendly shape, array of durable fabrics and sprawl-ability factor it works well in most living zones. In fact, the Ploum sofa ticks these boxes too, as it is:
✔️ Super comfortable (the Bouroullec brothers spent hours upon hours of research into sofa comfort).
✔️ A Red Dot design award winner.
✔️ Crafted by hand in France by Ligne Roset.
✔️ A visual delight.
