Contemporary Classics
An unmistakably curved silhouette unites sofas of different styles, materials and proportions. Be it evolutions of iconic models or new projects with a clear contemporary matrix that aspire to a timeless license. The seat is ideally inscribed in a circle, and invites users to experiment with new modes of comfort, more conversational and informal. Poltrona Frau, for example, has 'freed' the legendary Chester sofa by introducing new curved modules, with or without armrests, allowing original compositions, including concave-convex ones. Icosophà by Ceccotti Collezioni, designed by Roberto Lazzeroni, is characterized by the enveloping backrest that seems suspended, thanks to an elegant wooden structure. Its sinuous line and rounded corners refer to a certain American Fifties design, but also to the softness of Ico Parisi, to which the sofa dedicates a tribute. The formal rigor of the Venise upholstery system by Gabriele and Oscar Buratti for Lema is softened by the ability to modulate infinite compositional possibilities, thanks to a variegated abacus of elements. Fendi Casa, in the Moore Round sofa plays on the preciousness of materials and craftsmanship. High tailoring also for Gervasoni, which presents the new curved version of the Loll sofa by Paola Navone. Already in the name, the Audrey Motion sofa by Massimo Castagna for Gallotti & Radice declares a dynamic approach, not only for the curvilinear trend, but also for the asymmetrical momentum of the terminal.
