Tacchini | Le Mura

Tacchini presents the re-edition of Mario Bellini's historic Le Mura sofa: more comfort, same versatility

Tacchini continues its path of rediscovery and enhancement of great design classics, bringing back a timeless product, whose original design was signed by Mario Bellini in 1972: the modular sofa Le Mura. Fifty years after its debut, Le Mura offers a reinterpretation of the item, created in four hands with its Master. Keeping the original aesthetics intact, Tacchini has adapted the design to today’s manufacturing technology, using latest generation production techniques: the main intervention is the employment of performing and contemporary materials, which have improved the comfort of the seat, making it particularly welcoming.

The resulting design is a soft composition, free from time constraints, constantly current and highly adaptable to the most diverse environments. Taking inspiration from the city walls that surrounded ancient cities, made up of large square boulders, the character of Le Mura reveals itself from its name: a sofa composed by shaped modules, combined in infinite configurations.
