Tufty-Time 20

Overview

Tufty-Time 20 is a modular sofa system by Patricia Urquiola, made by B&B Italia and dated 2025 on the page. The company presents it as the contemporary evolution of Tufty-Time, the iconic system Urquiola drew in 2005, reworked twenty years after its launch without losing modularity, enveloping comfort or compositional flexibility.

Construction

A frame of tubular steel and steel profiles is padded with flexible cold shaped polyurethane foam under a polyester fibre cover. The back cushions (T60_C) combine down feather and polyester fibre in a pillow style. Feet are thermoplastic material and the cover is fabric. For the service elements (TY60, TY60L) the listed parts are a top in veneered MDF wood fibre panel or aluminium plate, a steel plate and brace, and felt ferrules.

Specifications

Representative element TY183BS_3: 183 cm wide, 115 cm deep, 68 cm high.

The system, twenty years on

According to the product page, Tufty-Time 20 is the system's contemporary evolution, and the 2005 design by Patricia Urquiola remains its base. Reinterpreted two decades later, it keeps the traits behind the original's success: modularity, enveloping comfort and compositional flexibility.

New volumes, a curved module

Volumes, padding and seat height were redesigned for greater comfort, and a curved module widens the possibilities of the system towards more fluid, convivial configurations, which the page sees as suitable for residential and contract settings. The sofa can be taken fully apart, so that every component might find a second life when the product reaches the end of its cycle.
