The new concept is a [modular couch system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybla) that features a minimalist frame and textured cushions Of course, the new system has been purpose-built for yachts and features a number of pieces that can be added and rearranged to create different seating shapes. In addition, the system features a wooden frame designed to support extra-large cushions. The couch depth and arms have been reduced in size to accommodate the dimensions of a traditional yacht. “The explosion of the Covid 19 pandemic has undoubtedly sharpened our focus on this business,” said Poltrona Frau CEO Nicola Coropulis “because boats, and yachts, in particular, are seen as private islands guaranteeing their owners not only comfort but also safety. That is why we have been developing products specifically for the yachting world."
