Contemporary upholstered furniture combines sensory comfort with essential lines, focusing on modularity, soft volumes, and curvilinear profiles. Tactile fabrics, tailored stitching, and enveloping shapes transform sofas and armchairs into micro-architectures of well-being, capable of adapting to spaces and defining new relaxation experiences.
Desalto | Francesco Rota | Unlimited
Unlimited is Desalto’s seating system, distinguished by its truly limitless modularity. The starting point for Unlimited, designed by Francesco Rota for Desalto, is the square-shaped element and the backrest that wraps around it from above: fundamental components that allow different seats to be combined to create ottomans, armchairs, chaise longues, and daybeds. The system evolves with the introduction of three new corner modules: 90°, 45° Internal, and 45° External, designed to further expand compositional possibilities.

Lema | Pierattelli Architetture | Miki
Upholstered in fabric, leather, or synthetic leather, Lema’s Miki armchair embodies ideals of softness, comfort, and dynamism. Designed by Pierattelli Architetture for Lema, Miki features a generous seat cushion enveloped by a padded shell that extends to form the backrest and armrests, creating a welcoming structure. Compact in size, yet slender thanks to its high backrest, it is offered in two variants: with a central die-cast aluminum pedestal or with four support feet.
Kamari by Twils, design Paolo Grasselli
Twils | Paolo Grasselli | Kamari
The forms of the various elements of the Kamari sofa, only seemingly casual, were designed by Paolo Grasselli to combine harmoniously. Inspired by the ancient walls of the Palace of Mycenae, Paolo Grasselli conceived Kamari for Twils, a sofa system where rationality and ergonomics spontaneously converge in the softness of the upholstery. The movable backrests and armrests make the system particularly flexible. Proportions and details are carefully considered to allow the islands to integrate perfectly with the system.

Porro | Francesco Rota | Tobu
Informal yet elegant, Porro’s Tobu seating system articulates into linear or angular configurations, offering versatile solutions and postures tailored to one’s desires. The Tobu sofa, designed by Francesco Rota for Porro, rests directly on the floor on a solid base from which the backrests and armrests, with their typical wing shape, develop, upholstered in leather or fabric. Slightly inclined backward, they define a light and elegant profile. The seats, tall and generous, adopt cushions of differentiated density, while the loose cushions add further softness and compositional flexibility.

NEUTRA | Stefano Gallizioli | Sao Miguel
Stone, NEUTRA’s symbolic material, is the distinctive element of the Sao Miguel sofa, designed by Stefano Gallizioli. Sao Miguel, the result of the collaboration between Stefano Gallizioli and NEUTRA, is a modular system of upholstered pieces with soft, fluid, and welcoming lines. Around the main seat, ottomans and support surfaces are arranged like small satellites, evoking the fragmented geography of an archipelago. The support surface is made with a marble slab that supports the generous and soft volumes upholstered in fabric.
