Design Language
The family is built on tubular steel brackets in Gunmetal Grey, panels veneered in Canaletto Walnut and low tables in wood or marble. The sofa and armchair carry goose-down padding and fully removable covers, and an adjustable moving backrest developed for the sofa reaches the headboard of the bed.
