  • Product Information

    Description

    The Standard sofa is more than mere furniture; it's an ode to versatility and comfort. Central to its charm is the "intelligent cushion", a transformative entity that seamlessly transitions into a backrest or armrest, reshaping itself to your momentary desires. Be it a casual reading session or digital browsing, this piece evolves, oscillating between poised symmetry and delightful informality. Its arresting back, coupled with a tender silhouette, ensures that every viewpoint captures its allure, framed in contemporary metal and draped in supple polyurethane and feathery wadding.

    Its myriad seat configurations narrate diverse stories: from linear narratives to winding sagas, and some that break free from conventions. Drawing its title "Standard" from the old French term "estendart", it sets a benchmark. This isn't just another sofa, but a rich tapestry of twenty years of pioneering thought. Beginning with the groundbreaking L’Homme et la Femme in 1993, this voyage has been about challenging norms, embracing novel materials, and cultivating adaptability. Under Francesco Binfaré's deft touch, creations like the transformative "On the Rocks" of 2004 came to life, lauding modular liberty. The Standard is this journey’s pinnacle, encapsulating decades of passion.

    Every cushion, an individual entity, rotates and reclines with a grace that unveils unprecedented layers of ease, a ballet enabled by ingeniously crafted joints, the silent architects of rest. And piecing this marvel together? Effortless, thanks to the masterstroke of molded polyurethane connectors that interlock with precision, facilitating swift tweaks, thorough cleaning, and fluid rearrangements.

    The pricing for Medium & Large Furniture delivery is dependent on the destinee's post-code. An estimate will be given at checkout. For international deliveries, please note that we can only provide a shipping quote for orders over £3,000.
