Poliform | Ketch

Ketch, a collection by Jean-Marie Massaud, draws inspiration from nautical themes: solid lines and generous volumes define its unique and innovative style, marrying design and functionality

Giving shape to outdoor collections that express timeless elegance and innovation, Poliform has presented Ketch, a collection designed by Jean-Marie Massaud: a perfect example of the interaction between natural and aesthetic elements. Inspired by the maritime world, Massaud creates a design characterized by solid lines and generous volumes.

The distinctive detail of Ketch is the use of iroko wood, which is essential and robust, opposed to lighter parts that form a flexible backrest, conjuring the image of a sail stretched between the two masts of a boat. The flexible backrest of the sofas and armchairs is supported by a simple and solid iroko wood structure, a highly resistant wood, treated with hydro-oils that preserve its beauty over time. The padding, made from materials and textiles specific to outdoor use, is generous and comfortable.
