Story
Coastline and interiors
Cappellini says Sebastian Herkner drew the sofa's low backs and uneven rounded shapes from the rocky Salento coastline, so that nature becomes the protagonist of interior spaces.
Separate and modular units
The system is described as a leisurely invitation to relax and convene, suited to domestic settings and hospitality lounge areas. Modules are also available without armrests or with a single armrest, and free cushions can be placed at will.
