In the next movie in our Bolon at Heart video series, Cappellini director Giulio Cappellini reveals how the Italian brand is experimenting with a new material by Swedish flooring company Bolon to upholster furniture.

Bolon is famous for its woven vinyl flooring, but at Stockholm Design Week last month the Swedish brand presented a series of experimental furniture pieces upholstered with Bolon material.

One such piece was a version of a product called Anemos, a coffee table with four retractable seats that Italian designer Antonio Facco originally designed for Cappellini in 2015.

"At the moment we are experimenting with some new materials from Bolon on our furniture," Cappellini explains in the movie, which was filmed at the Italian furniture brand's showroom and factory in Milan.
"We experimented with this new Bolon material on the Anemos table and seats by Antonio Facco."

The original Anemos comprises a wood table and four padded seats with curved wood backs, which slide underneath the table to create a unified, monolithic form.

Cappellini and Facco wanted to create a version of the product with fully upholstered seats and chose to experiment with a new hybrid material developed by Bolon called Villa La Madonna.
