edra - Grande Soffice modular sofa

The timeless elegance of Grande Soffice recalls classicism, its linear shape ends in soft curves that look sculpted. They’re remarkably simple. An architecture designed to characterize any environment: striking for its size on a large scale and offers an unprecedented wellness experience thanks to a set of technological and natural materials. The padding is in Gellyfoam and a large amount of goose feathers: the result is extreme comfort. The Intelligent Cushion allows the backrests to tilt for maximum relaxation. Each seat can comfortably accommodate two people. The modularity allows linear or angular compositions of different sizes and shapes. The deeper elements and the ottoman complete the customization offering a more free use of the sofa. Francesco Binfaré, designer of the Grande Soffice, describes it as follows: "It is a sculpture that enters the house as a monument or an obelisk or a cathedral enters the urban space. It is an architecture itself, a primordial and sophisticated lair".
