Description

The Art of Voluminous Comfort

The Edra Sponge Armchair is a luxury armchair that transforms contemporary seating into a work of art. Defined by its irregular, flowing folds, each chair features a voluminous silhouette that is never repeated. This high-end designer armchair brings organic form and dynamic texture to sophisticated interiors, making it a statement piece for modern luxury homes and design-forward spaces.

Exclusive, One-of-a-Kind Craftsmanship

Crafted using an innovative technique, the Sponge Armchair is formed by foaming liquid polyurethane inside a closed mold lined with oversized leather upholstery. As the foam expands, it pushes against the leather, creating organic creases and ripples that vary with each piece. The result is a sculptural armchair with unique, textural graphics across its surface. Free from rigid molds, its shape forms naturally—making every chair one-of-a-kind. This tactile unpredictability brings fluidity and emotional depth to its design. A true collectible, the Sponge is ideal for those who value individuality in luxury furniture.

A Bold Accent for Interiors

Whether styled in a curated living room, luxury lounge or gallery-inspired space, the Edra Sponge Armchair instantly elevates its surroundings. Its distinctive profile draws the eye while offering deep, inviting comfort. As both a high-end accent chair and functional artwork, it is ideal for those who seek exclusive modern furniture with avant-garde elegance.

About The Artist

EDRA

Since 1987, Edra has been synonymous with radical design vision and expressive craftsmanship. Founded by Valerio and Monica Mazzei, and guided creatively by the late Massimo Morozzi, Edra quickly rose to international acclaim for its fusion of art, innovation, and comfort. From the beginning, the brand has challenged conventional furniture norms, producing pieces that are as emotionally resonant as they are visually striking. Every Edra creation is a synthesis of meticulous research, refined materials, and an unwavering dedication to originality.

Among the brand’s most distinctive voices is Peter Traag, a Dutch designer recognized for his experimental approach to form and surface. Traag is known for manipulating materials in ways that emphasize texture, chance, and transformation. His creative process rejects rigidity in favor of spontaneity—celebrating the unexpected beauty that arises when material behavior is allowed to lead the design. His work often blurs the boundaries between industrial method and organic outcome, resulting in pieces that are dynamic, expressive, and singular.

The Sponge Armchair is a clear embodiment of this philosophy. Developed through an innovative technique, the chair is crafted by foaming polyurethane inside a mold already lined with oversized leather upholstery. As the material expands, it pushes outward, creating voluminous folds and irregular ripples unique to every piece. Each Sponge Armchair becomes a living texture, formed by the unpredictable forces of pressure, gravity, and response. Rather than refine or correct the results, Traag preserves these nuances—transforming each chair into a tactile landscape that is both sensual and sculptural.

In the Sponge, Edra’s pursuit of extraordinary form through material intuition comes vividly to life. It exemplifies the brand’s belief that great design emerges not from imposed control, but from thoughtful surrender to the process. With Peter Traag’s bold vision and Edra’s technical mastery, the Sponge Armchair stands as a true icon—an intersection of innovation, individuality, and emotional impact.

Style Guide

The Edra Sponge Armchair is a statement of tactile luxury and expressive form. With its voluminous, billowy silhouette and unpredictably folded leather surface, each armchair becomes a singular artwork—both inviting and sculptural. As a collectible piece designed to stir emotion, the Sponge deserves to be placed and styled in a way that enhances its artistry and harmonizes with its organic character. The following guide offers practical suggestions for placing and accessorizing this high-end designer armchair across sophisticated living spaces.

Ideal Placement:

  • Living Rooms: Position the Sponge Armchair beside a low-profile sofa or curved sectional to form an elegant seating cluster that draws attention with contrast in shape and texture.
  • Minimalist Interiors: Showcase the Sponge on a clean, open floor—such as wide oak planks or matte concrete—with a soft neutral rug, allowing the chair’s organic form to anchor the room.
  • Gallery-Inspired Spaces: Place the Sponge in a well-lit corner near abstract wall art or a floor sculpture, where its folds and texture echo the qualities of surrounding curated pieces.
  • Luxury Lounges or Libraries: Situate the armchair next to a sleek floor lamp or a handcrafted side table to create an intimate, refined reading area that highlights material richness and comfort.
  • Open-Concept Homes: Use the Sponge as a spatial anchor in large, open rooms—ideally in front of tall windows or between defined living and dining zones—to create visual rhythm and softness within expansive layouts.

Styling Tips:

  • Neutral Backdrop: Keep wall and floor tones muted—think bone white, stone grey or pale wood—to direct focus to the chair’s detailing.
  • Minimal Accessories: Style with a sleek floor lamp or a single sculptural vase; avoid layering too many objects.
  • Tactile Contrast: Introduce softness through adjacent furnishings like a bouclé throw, wool rug or mohair cushions.
  • Grounded Underfoot: Use subtle flooring—matte tiles, raw concrete or a handwoven rug—to let the chair visually float.

From Our Designers

A Curated Styling Tip for Special Effect

Elevate the Edra Sponge Armchair by pairing it with the Edra Tavolo Cicladi Table, known for its jagged alabaster top and sculptural metal base. The interplay between the Sponge’s billowed leather and the Cicladi’s irregular stone form creates a tactile conversation between softness and structure. Placing these two side-by-side—in a corner of a modern living room or beside a reading alcove—results in an artful vignette that balances fluidity and permanence, perfect for curated, gallery-inspired interiors.

FAQ

The Sponge Armchair by Edra is crafted using an exclusive process where polyurethane foam is injected directly into the fabric, resulting in a unique, plushy form for each piece. No two chairs are alike. This one-of-a-kind construction, combined with Edra’s design heritage and Jacopo Foggini’s artistic vision, makes it a highly sought-after collectible in luxury interior design.

This armchair is ideal as a sculptural centerpiece in luxury living rooms, private lounges, or gallery-style spaces. To enhance its dramatic folds and shimmering finish—especially in metallic tones—position it in areas with natural daylight or spotlight illumination. It pairs beautifully with neutral palettes, dark wood flooring and minimalistic surroundings that let the design breathe.

The Sponge Armchair is made with a metallic or textile-covered shell, depending on the finish, and is injected with polyurethane foam directly into the fabric. This process creates organic, voluminous forms that are both soft and structured. The result is a piece that is tactile, comfortable, and visually arresting—merging design innovation with high comfort.

To maintain its luxurious look, avoid direct exposure to harsh sunlight to preserve the finish. Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth or microfiber. For spills or stains, blot gently with a damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. For fabric finishes, professional upholstery cleaning is recommended annually. Metallic versions should be handled with care to preserve their sheen and texture.

Absolutely. While it is a popular choice for luxury residences and penthouses, the Sponge Armchair also makes a striking impression in boutique hotels, contemporary lobbies, private galleries and executive lounges. Its design-forward silhouette and durable construction make it suitable for high-end commercial environments seeking an artistic, signature seating piece.

Not at all. We offer complimentary white-glove delivery and assembly for all our furniture pieces. Our team will carefully assemble the product in your space, ensuring everything is perfectly set up before they leave. All you need to do is sit back and enjoy your new piece.
