Rolf Benz Plura 380 Two-seater, Leather White

Rolf Benz Plura 380 – a sofa with many faces

There is more technology in the Plura than meets the eye. The seat rests on a metal inner frame with a swivel function and steel sinuous spring suspension, and the back on an adjustable metal inner frame. On top is polyurethane foam, built up in layers of different heights and degrees of firmness and covered with polyester fleece. Norbert Beck designed the range for Rolf Benz, and it was launched in 2011. Depending on the element, the sofa becomes a high-back sofa, a place to relax or a longchair.

Plura 380 two-seater in white leather

This Plura 380 is a two-seater with a leather cover in white. The pale leather makes the sofa look light and emphasises the straight lines of the metal frame. As a two-seater, it fits into smaller living rooms or a study, or complements a larger sofa. Protect white leather from textiles whose dye can rub off, such as dark jeans. It is one of a kind.

Seating comfort and space

With a seat height of 41 cm, you sit a little lower than on many sofas, which gives a laid-back feel. Rolf Benz describes the upholstery as relaxed: you sit in the upholstery, and slight ripples in the cover are part of the look. According to the manufacturer, the loose, low back cushions provide comfort for your back. The two-seater takes up around 1.86 m along the wall and 93 cm in depth. Leave 60 to 80 cm of walkway clear in front of the sofa.

Elements and additions

The Plura range included a stand-alone sofa, add-on and corner elements, end armchairs with a tray in black leather, a longchair, an upholstered corner piece and a square upholstered seat. Depending on the element, the back, side section and seat could be adjusted. The Plura is no longer listed on the current Rolf Benz website. Rolf Benz offers a reupholstery service through its retail partners.

Caring for the leather cover

Wipe away dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Rolf Benz recommends treating leather with a suitable care product at least every six months. With white leather, take care with textiles whose dye can rub off, such as dark jeans. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from radiators so that the leather does not dry out.

Why buy a pre-owned Rolf Benz Plura 380?

Rolf Benz has been making upholstered furniture in Nagold since 1964, and since 2020 with the ‘Furniture Made in Germany’ label. On the Plura, the swivel and adjustment functions are housed in metal inner frames, with the upholstery on top. The idea of a sofa that changes its posture is as relevant today as it was at its launch in 2011. This piece has been inspected in eight stations.
