Generous proportions and a soft architectural geometry define the Tokio Sofa, designed in 2018 by the Swedish architectural studio Claesson Koivisto Rune. Even though the different volumes of the sofa are clearly defined, the overall look is softly sculpted and without any sharp corners. The sofa is raised just over the floor plane, giving it a floating appearance. The collection can be grouped in endless combinations: free-standing, in a large room as a seating island, but also arranged in more traditional sofa configurations. A curved version was introduced in 2023 in Milan.
Arflex's collection of sofas seamlessly fuses the allure of classic design with the excitement of contemporary innovation. With a keen understanding of design longevity, their classic sofas boast graceful profiles, meticulous craftsmanship, and a nod to historical influences. Meanwhile, their new sofa designs push creative boundaries, experimenting with bold shapes, modern materials, and ergonomic features. Arflex's commitment to quality ensures that whether you choose a classic or a new design, each sofa offers unparalleled comfort and an aesthetic that speaks volumes about the brand's Italian heritage and dedication to refined, timeless design.
The new 2023 Edo Modular Sofa from Claesson Koivisto Rune, is related to their Tokio Sofa system, above, in terms of general dimensions and the full range of elements as well as retaining the softened yet architectural expression. However, it offers a separation of the seat cushion from the seat base. While the general expression is of a single overall seat shape, the inner construction has been completely re-engineered, to be able to reach an ever higher degree of comfort.
At the end of the 60s, the architect Cini Boeri revolutionized the furniture sector with a piece that is now a classic: the Strips Modular Sofa. The 1968 designed sofa is characterized by a removable quilted lining, where the upholstery becomes an integral part of the design, as explained here. This sofa is available in many different configurations to suit a variety of needs.
Crafted by Mario Marenco in 1970, the Marenco Sofa epitomizes the allure of the '70s era. Arflex revolutionizes the seating system with this masterpiece, ingeniously assembling the cushions and armrests at the base. A metal tubular frame secures the cushions, ensuring sturdiness and durability.
