Come Together Sofa

Overview

Come Together is a Poltrona Frau sofa system credited to Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba, dated 2018 on its product sheet. The page describes a composition logic built deliberately on a limited number of modules that allow an infinite number of combinations, and the covering is leather or fabric.

Construction

The sheet lists a base structure of tubular metal and solid poplar, padded with polyurethane foam and pressed felt, with a seat sprung on interwoven elastic belts. The seat cushion comes in a "Soft comfort" version with feathers or a "Firm comfort" version with polyester wadding; backrest and armrest cushions are goose down and polyester wadding.

A system for being together

In the page's words, the Come Together sofa system is a place for genuine sharing, an invitation to rediscover physical proximity and to exchange ideas and emotions in the flesh. It says that every element is designed to welcome people and bring them together, and that the designers conceived it as an ultra-contemporary system.

Bands, stitching and side units

The page says the sofa can be enriched along its bottom edge by a band of leather decorated with loops that resemble belts or other small leather goods, to emphasise solidity, while the version without the band emphasises the lightness of the design. The stitching traces a thin graphical effect on the surfaces of the armrests. A series of accessories connects with the seats: an end unit, a unit that joins seats and a storage unit behind the backrest.
