Area Collection
Area originates from a simple and universal childhood memory: building small shelters out of cushions, transforming a bed
or a sofa into a protected, intimate place where imagination could reshape the experience of space.
or a sofa into a protected, intimate place where imagination could reshape the experience of space.
This image became the starting point for a collection in which the cushion acts as a generative module. Repeated and
combined, this archetypal element gives rise to an entire seating system. Seat, backrest and armrests are conceived as
independent soft volumes that define a space around the body, creating a natural sense of comfort and protection. A slender
metal frame subtly elevates the generous upholstered volumes, establishing a balance between visual lightness and material
presence. The archetypal geometry of the cushions and their inherent softness define the collection’s identity, making it feel
both instantly familiar and distinctly recognizable.

The name Area refers to a defined portion of space, a place where people pause, work, meet and spend time together. More
than a family of upholstered pieces, Area is conceived as a system of intimate landscapes designed to welcome the body and
encourage a natural relationship between people and the spaces they inhabit.
