&Tradition: Develius or Develius Mellow?

Curious about the differences between the Develius sofa and its Mellow variant? Let’s dive into the details and get inspired by what sets them apart.


Develius Mellow

 

The Develius and Develius Mellow sofas, both designed by Edward van Vliet, share a modular and versatile foundation but differ in their approach to comfort and design details.

Both sofas offer highly customizable systems, allowing configurations ranging from a pouf to a 1-6 seater sofa, a corner sofa, or a chaise longue. They provide flexibility in setup, with metal brackets used to connect the modules. In terms of materials, both models feature a wooden frame, no-sag springs, and high-resilience (HR) foam padding, ensuring durability and long-lasting comfort. Available in a variety of fabrics or customer-supplied materials, these sofas cater to individual tastes and interior needs. Additionally, both are tested for strength, durability, and safety to EN 16139 Level 2 standards for extreme use.

Despite their shared modularity and craftsmanship, the two sofas differ significantly in comfort and design focus. Develius strikes a balance between comfort and aesthetic form, offering a clean, structured look with customizable options like low or high armrests. Its intuitive design keeps a sleek, defined shape while maintaining comfort.

On the other hand, Develius Mellow takes lounging to the next level, emphasizing even greater softness and a relaxed feel. Its ultra-soft seating is enhanced by a duvet of shredded foam and polyester wadding, offering a plush, enveloping experience. One of its standout features is the removable outer fabric, making it easier to clean and maintain, while the original Develius does not have this feature.

In essence, Develius offers a refined blend of comfort and structure, while Develius Mellow prioritizes softness and an informal lounging experience with added practicality. Both sofas excel in versatility and durability, but the Mellow variant leans into a more laid-back, cozy style.
