Sofas

Modular runs solve the corner

A straight line along a wall does not work in every room, and corner or L-shaped layouts are built from modular series. Era-L offers a family running from a 70 cm single-seat module and a 78 cm module with arms to 140 and 148 cm two-seat modules and a 210 cm three-seat module. Era is produced as a 240 cm straight arrangement alongside 260×160 cm and 270×160 cm corner combinations. Pupa offers 84, 164 and 224 cm low-back modules together with high-back modules at 120 cm, whose tall back and side panels create an acoustic and visual screen. Solar is the most flexible series with up to seventeen size options, combining from a 25 cm single piece to 100×90 cm seating blocks. Cubo, Almond, Folo, Joker and Rota are modular as well.

A low back is the mark of a lounge

Most shells in this category are low-backed, and that is the measure separating a sofa from a waiting chair. Overall height varies between 55 and 112 cm; the lower end does not block sightlines and does not cut circulation in an open plan. Seat height stays in the 43-46 cm band and depth ranges from 50 to 95 cm. Depth is the decisive figure here: shells in the 50-70 cm band suit upright posture and short breaks, while those in the 80-95 cm band suit reclined, longer sessions. Zenith is defined around a deep seat and a soft back form that makes sitting for hours easier, and Iber sits on the same side with a wide, deep seating area.

Leg type decides the floor and the look

Sofa legs separate into three routes. Painted metal legs are the most common answer and are used on Almond, Krosa, Odda and Dian, whose blade-shaped legs visually lift the body off the floor. Chrome tubular legs are used on Mark, Comfort, Line and Hexagone and give a lighter, brighter reading. Wooden legs appear on Unite in wenge or natural polished finishes. Pug is produced with an adjustable screw foot, which stops the shell rocking on floors that are not perfectly level. Oxford brings a different construction into the same listing: a robust metal frame with a choice of wooden or fabric armrests. Baron sits low at 100x90x80 cm on soft cushions, and Odissea offers a compact 65x70x77 cm body for tighter corners.

Shells that integrate a table

Some series combine seat and surface in one body, which helps where there is no room for a separate table. Morn is offered as a 210 cm version with an integrated table alongside plain 180 and 240 cm widths. Medy is planned with right- and left-hand table modules together with 150 and 210 cm sofa versions. Punto adapts one design to four wall lengths at 165, 185, 215 and 245 cm. Show offers 185, 205 and 245 cm sofa versions plus a single seat on a round swivel base.

Upholstery and filling

Fabric is the most common upholstery here, while leather and faux leather concentrate on the executive and lobby side; Santana is offered with a natural leather option. On filling, the values stated on product pages can be read directly: Almond and Mark use 3545 EUROCEL HR, Dian, Krosa and Odda use 3545/3525 EUROCEL HR, and Pug uses 3545/3535 EUROCEL HR foam, while Hexagone and Comfort are stated at 32 kg/m3 and Line at 40 kg/m3. In heavily used shared areas, filling density is the most concrete indicator of how long a shell will hold its original form.

For a single resting seat see armchairs, and for high-turnover sequential layouts see waiting chairs. The single shell in front of a desk belongs to guest chairs, and the shell behind it to executive chairs. To compare every seating shell use the chairs parent page, and for the surface in front of a sofa see tables.
