A sofa from an armchair

The page says the sofa carries the philosophy of enveloping comfort and refined style into a version for several people, and that it can be the centre of a living area. It points to the soft lines, the vertical folds that animate the upholstery and the tailored stitching as what makes it recognisable.

Leather and fabric versions

The sheet distinguishes two covers: leather with contrasting stitching along the edges and external surfaces, and fabric with tone-on-tone stitching.
