A highly flexible and customisable system of sofas and sectionals. The project’s origin lies in the juxtaposition of signs: the combination of the thin frame with large-sized cushions, the structural stiffness and the soft elegance of upholstery, the coexistence of a perfect symmetry of the bases with the natural unbalance of soft sections. The system features a different modularity of the armrests: tall and long, tall and short, low and long or low and short. The system can be used either in a symmetrical or asymmetrical way.
The supporting structure is made of a 3 cm thick MD belted wood fi breboard (supported by a metal framework) with tapered and bevelled profile. Powder-coated in the following colours: matt white, or matt anthracite grey. The special varnishing process ensures a better resistance than a standard lacquering. The surface of the frame in some sectionals can be used as a shelf and/or coffee table.
Filling in non-deformable variable density polyether and polyester wadding; cushions with a completely removable upholstery. Backrests and armrests feature an inner frame in solid wood. Sectionals allow to develop numerous linear or corner confi gurations. All the modules feature recessed internal legs so that the frame linear design is not interrupted. With sectionals, a special coupling device is provided. Sectionals cannot be used individually.
The fabric or leather upholstery of the cushions has been designed to enhance their softness. The collection features an aesthetic seam with contrast stitching. Loose cover. All units in leather may have, at MDF Italia’s discretion, one or more seams. Optional rectangular-shaped cushions with filling in down and cover with the same aesthetic seams that characterize the sofa system. The cushions’ upholstery is always removable.
