A Fusion of Sustainability and Design
Marcantonio’s Terra pouf for Natuzzi Italia is a statement of conscious craftsmanship
Designer Marcantonio has created a pouf that embodies Natuzzi Italia’s evolving design philosophy, which is rooted in sustainability, material awareness and thoughtful craftsmanship. The result is Terra – part of the brand’s Circle of Harmony collection – a sculptural yet inviting seating piece designed with zero environmental impact in mind. Inspired by the landscape of Puglia, the pouf’s chamfered form and rounded lines recall the smooth contours of an olive resting on the region’s red soil. Light straps that connect the seat and backrest complement Terra’s minimalist aesthetic, reinforcing the project’s seamless circularity. The inner core is free from traditional structures and frames and is crafted from recycled polystyrene – one of the most recyclable and circular materials available. The upholstery is offered in Water, a sustainable fabric developed in collaboration with Dutch textile innovation studio BYBORRE, further reinforcing Natuzzi’s dedication to conscious design.
