Antonio Citterio by Cassina
2 resultsCollection: Antonio Citterio
Brand: Cassina
Specifications:
A living room system designed to define the domestic landscape in a fluid, flexible manner. This is Esosoft ‒ the first project by Antonio Citterio for Cassina ‒ a modular sofa that embodies the timeless elegance and style the Italian designer is known for and, at the same time, is an aspirational tribute to the art of the great masters and to the practice of visualizing furniture by detaching the structural part from its padded interior. In fact, Esosoft consists of an aluminium exoskeleton and a shell with an organic silhouette upon which soft cushions are placed. Past and future coexist in this shape ‒ reminiscent of the concept of casual comfort typical of the 1960s ‒ that benefits from cutting-edge production techniques, mindfully chosen to make the system circular and sustainable. Thanks to the work of Cassina LAB, materials like a polyurethane foam that contains a percentage of polyols deriving from biological sources and blown recycled PET fibre in the backrest cushions. The Esosoft collection comprises eight modules that can be used as individual sofas or combined to form corner arrangements, lending the utmost flexibility to the configuration of living spaces. Special attention was focused on size, taking into account urban settings where space is often at a premium. The cushions ‒ available in a wide variety of sizes and shapes ‒ can be added individually or in sets. The Esosoft family is complemented by benches in different sizes, ottomans and a series of coffee tables with top in wavy glass, in several colours, or in marble.
