'Every project is a dialogue, a meshing of visions that takes shape thanks to skilled craftsmanship,' says Chiara Andreatti. 'Bouncing ideas off the company means exploring its language, reinterpreting it and pushing it further, to create something authentic and timeless.'
The design, consisting of composable modules with organic shapes and soft lines, celebrates versatility and asymmetry, offering infinite possible compositions and configurations. The name plays on the sinuosity of the shapes, delicately moulded as if polished and smoothed over time. The brand's heritage and the stylistic elements that have always made it iconic and distinctive come through in the curved wood structure that frames the sofa's backrests and armrests, embellished with Vienna woven straw or hand-woven leather. The upholstery lies on a natural-toned or dark walnut-toned ash wood platform that lends both lightness and stability. The design project is completed by wood side tables that can be incorporated into the structure.
