The shape of relaxation

The new sofas, with their modularity, soft lines, and generous forms, take center stage in living rooms

They stand out for their ability to adapt to the dynamic needs of modern living spaces. Thanks to remarkable flexibility, these sofas fit seamlessly into various settings, whether in compact urban apartments or expansive open areas. Each collection is crafted to deliver ultimate comfort and relaxation, offering an irresistible invitation to take a break from life’s hustle and bustle. The focus on rounded shapes serves as a sincere invitation to unwind and enjoy moments of introspection and well-being.

Studiopepe, inspired by the sinuous movements of curves in nature, designed the Stami (on cover) sofa for Gallotti&Radice. The sofa, with a base in open-pore black stained ash and bright brass details, is also available in a matte lacquered version in numerous colors. The two cylindrical end armrests, in feather, are upholstered in the same fabric/leather as the sofa.

In their first collaboration with Poltrona Frau, the duo Draga & Aurel conceptualized a modular seating system that pays homage to a quintessential streetwear garment from the ‘90s. Parka is an all-purpose sofa with soft lines and generous volumes, padded down to the ground. The distinctive elliptical shape of the back creates a concave or convex space, at once bold and welcoming.
