This piece was born as an ironic, disruptive response to the geometric rigor of classic modernism, bringing a breath of lightheartedness and typically Pop color into homes.

The design concept stands out for its boldness and industrial simplicity: each individual module is created through a single S-shaped cut directly into a block of polyurethane foam. with no internal structures or frames, the Sofo exploits solely the density of the material and rests on a lightweight black plastic base.

Its great strength lies in its nomadic modularity: the armchairs can be combined in a row to form sofas of any length, positioned in a corner or freestanding. The visual impact is amplified by the iconic fabric upholstery featuring large two-tone vertical stripes—like the vibrant pink and yellow version—that follows the curves of the seat, transforming the living room into a sculptural, fluid domestic landscape free from rigid bourgeois formalism.

The sofa measures 164 cm long, 70 cm high, and 82 cm deep, weighing 24 kg.
The armchairs measure 82 cm long, 70 cm high, and 82 cm deep, weighing 12 kg.
