Miami Soft: the erudite and contemporary vision of Baxter

Versatile and combinable, the sofa designed by Paola Navone is an ode to versatility and absolute comfort

Design implies a pure balance of materials and sensations, past and avant-garde, a path of research that starts with the single item and extends to objects that become expressions of a unified identity. Baxter, with its outstanding manufacturing capabilities and focus on Made in Italy, acts as an exponent of this philosophy, through precious collections reflecting total attention to detail, setting trends while at the same time formulating the manifestation of a particular mood.

The materials, carefully balanced in a combination of leathers, marbles, woods and lacquers, fuel a game of creativity and styling expressed through variegated and unusual colors or contrasting textures, generating original and unique pieces that add character to spaces, translating the personality of their designers and their users into physical objects. This background of the brand’s creativity has led to the concept for the Miami Soft sofa, designed by Paola Navone to combine the concept of absolute comfort with an informal aesthetic.

These two values bring out the full potential of the living area, which in an era where versatility is a key factor has to be ready to transform, from a personal relaxation zone to a place for socializing, sharing and leisure.

Ready for reconfiguration of its multifaceted image, the Miami Soft sofa offers a wide range of movements and uses thanks to its double-face arrangement, which encourages dynamic utilization. The seat can be lengthened thanks to an independent roller and back rolls, to guarantee an enveloping, restful break at any time of day.

The excellence of this creation is naturally embodied by the materials, crafted with great skill in the inimitable Italian tradition: the coverings in very soft leather with visible stitching involve painstaking workmanship, while the wide range of colors and textures become an ode to expressive impact and customer care, together with the finishing touch of cushions in different sizes, conveying a sense of essential minimalism and flamboyant welcome at the same time.

The true heart of the home, like the space where it becomes a protagonist, the Miami Soft sofa is the epitome of informal nonchalance that brings total wellbeing, an allegory of erudite detachment and the pleasure of self-fulfillment, surrounded by an atmosphere of pure, harmonious beauty.
