Extreme visual lightness, extreme versatility: the High Time sofa, designed by Christophe Pillet, can be used to create studied, yet essential compositions that reflect the individual taste of those who choose to host it in their personal surroundings.
The High Time modular seating system includes armchairs, a chaise longue, two and three-seat sofas, end units, centre and corner elements, and a series of poufs that all feature a minimalist metal base – available with a polished chrome finish or matte lacquered in black, mud or white.
