In a previous post Furniture Fashion brought our loyal readers the Louis Ghost dining chair from Kartell that has some really great lines and stackable feature. Well the Pol sofa is another very unique modern furniture design also from Kartell that is anything but ordinary. Many of their designs are visually captivating and use stark shapes and high luster finishes, making a bold statement. The Pol, as you can see is a simple to piece structure with a minimal support bar that would be perfect for a modern commercial setting where comfort would be lees in demand than in a residence. I do like the way the Pol sofa design breaks away from the traditional theme and makes an individual statement.
