The Nest Small Sofa embodies a stunning design that unites the contrasting tones and textures of comforting fabric and durable solid wood. Defined by a curvaceous, steamed bent frame, crafted from Beech, the striking spindled backrest creates a stunning structure that can be appreciated from every angle. The rounded design creates an overall soft and inviting seat space, allowing for you to sit back and relax, supported by a range of comforting cushions. A beautiful addition to a living space, the sofa is ideal for both small and large spaces alike. Also available, the Ercol Nest Large Sofa.
Graduated in 1973 in architecture from the Turin Politecnico. Between 1970 and 1980 worked alongside Alessandro Mendini, Ettore Sottsass Jr. and Andrea Branzi in the Alchimia group, the most progressive set on the Italian design scene, developing a highly productive and stimulating avant-garde stance which gained her, in 1983, the prestigious Osaka International Design Award, bestowed for the first time that year.
Born in Turin, she later moved to Milan, although she is first and foremost a citizen of the world: driven by her extreme interest in the most widely differing cultures (particularly oriental ones) she travels a great deal, bowing to a natural inclination to cross boundaries, and not only geographical ones. In her long and many-sided career she has switched easily between the roles of architect, designer, art director, interior designer, critic, teacher and organiser of exhibitions and events, both independently and for select clients.
