Back in the collection

The page says the Ginger sofa, designed by Antonio Citterio in 1984, returns to the collection to re-establish the relevancy of its design today, after the re-edition of the eponymous chaise longue. It carries the same minimalist elegance in a new configuration.

Details that define it

The tubular metal structure is the trademark of the design; the leather-clad bar and the spring system are described as a sophisticated combination of design research and artisan savoir-faire.
