Story
A system of components
Vitra's factbook describes the Suita sofa system as combining light and slender volumes with an industrial and technological aesthetic. The body and cushions seem to float above sleek, bridge-like aluminium legs, in what it calls a tribute to mid-century American design.
Freely combined
The family encompasses a wide range of components that can be used as independent elements or freely combined. Seat and back cushions come in firm or soft versions and are optionally available with tufting.
