Description

Overview

Alberese Urban is a modular sofa system by Piero Lissoni, with an open armrest and low-slung proportions. Its seat cushion extends all the way to the floor.

Configurations

The system includes linear modules, angled elements and small stand-alone islands, which allows dynamic yet orderly arrangements.

Padding

Soft wadding padding gives the seat both softness and volumetric stability, for a deep and welcoming seat.

Story

A seat cushion that reaches the floor

The open armrest and low-slung proportions carry over from the Alberese XL system, while the structure is reinterpreted as a seat cushion extending all the way to the floor. The result is a more compact and immediate construction.

Modules for composing a room

Linear modules, angled elements and small stand-alone islands combine into configurations that stay coherent from an architectural standpoint. The sofa is more compact and architectural, and keeps the original idea of large cushions, broad horizons and the freedom to compose one's own domestic landscape.
