ANVERSA 21 Cat Star Fabric
‘Living Divani’s Extrasoft sofa is on our go-to list for its ability to form a minimal yet sculptural centrepiece in a room.’ – Paul Conrad, Conrad Architects
The ultimate modular sofa that is both casual and soft with yielding and malleable comfort, while it creates a strong geometric anchor within a room. Designed by the architect Piero Lissoni in 2008, its form was influenced by traditional Middle Eastern seating of the Majlis, a culturally important low-rise cushioned space designed for social gatherings. A contemporary version of this centuries-old tradition, Extrasoft delivers compositions of luxuriously soft low geometric blocks to create an undulating upholstered landscape while taking the sofa in the direction of abstract expressionism. Stripped of all non-essential elements but possessing beautifully subtle details, its cosy and restful seats can be placed next to one another in geometrical configurations with irregular contours. Now designed for the outdoors too, Extrasoft is a modern classic that allows for easy reconfiguration to suit a change of room or event, advancing the great history of Italian sofa design.
