The key element of the Standard sofa is its “smart cushion“ that acts as a backrest and armrest. Designed exclusively by the R&D Team at Edra, it can be adjusted and manipulated individually, allowing for unparalleled comfort and freedom.

Product Information
Description
The Standard sofa isn't just a seat; it's an invitation to redefine relaxation. At its core lies the "smart cushion", a chameleon that morphs into both a backrest and armrest, dancing to your every whim. Whether you're deep in a novel or swiping through a tablet, this couch adapts, effortlessly shifting between formal symmetry and playful asymmetry. Its graceful back and plush silhouette ensure that its beauty isn't just skin deep; it's a stunner from every angle, framed in sleek metal and cloaked in soft polyurethane and synthetic wadding.
A mosaic of seats unfolds diverse tales: linear tales, tales of twists and turns, and those that defy the grid. The name "Standard" borrows its essence from the old French, "estendart" - a flag, a marker of excellence. It’s not just a sofa, but a culmination of two decades of innovation. Tracing its lineage to the revolutionary L’Homme et la Femme from 1993, this journey has been about pushing boundaries, reimagining materials, and championing flexibility. Francesco Binfaré, the mastermind, has sprinkled his magic time and again, crafting seats like the 2004 "On the Rocks" that championed modular freedom. The Standard is the magnum opus, distilling years of exploration.
Each pillow, a realm in itself, pivots and lounges with an elegance that uncovers new dimensions of comfort, a dance made possible by meticulously engineered joints - the unsung heroes of relaxation. And as for assembling this masterpiece? It's child's play, courtesy of the ingenious molded polyurethane elements that snap seamlessly, making adjustments, cleaning, and rearrangements a breeze.
