Alain Monnens designed the NEWPORT couch for Durlet after he was briefed that they were looking for a new couch with a light, floating form with horizontal lines, yet also comfortable and definitely not rigid.<\/p>\n

The result became the NEWPORT. The light, floating aspect is achieved firstly by creating the frame from plastic to remain thin and to give it a slight bounce, secondly, also by its exceptionally characteristic feet. This not only allows the couch to float above the ground, but also contributes a certain dynamism with its oblique lines at the back and accentuates the horizontal aspect even more with the connection spanning the full width at the back. The danger with such a couch is that it can easily have a very rigid appearance. This was avoided with the cushions that were made specially to look the way they do: created to sink into and relax. The cushions are filled with a combination of feathers and foam. The arm cushions echo the shape of the seat cushions and once again accentuate the horizontal appearance of the model.<\/p>\n
