DESIGN NAME: Laguna
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Modular sofa
INSPIRATION: Laguna is inspired by Venetian landscape. A cut between the seat and the backrest characterizes Laguna's profile and gives it a flavor of the '50s.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A '50s flavor marks the modularity of Laguna. This modular sofa, characterized by its thin line, engages with space by creating sinuous, varied forms to produce a comforting and relaxed space. Dynamism and versatility emerge as traits of a modular system that can be endlessly combined and reconfigured to create light and sculptural compositions.
For its ability to easily communicate with corners and pillars, Laguna is a perfect minimal ecosystem for waiting areas and of the contemporary world.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Curved and straight sofa modules with or without arms can be endlessly combined and reconfigured to create fabulous interior design compositions. Simple hidden linking devices provide additional levels of flexibility enabling to compose and recompose individual layouts. Concave and convex curved modules enable to create circular peninsula and wave layouts at varying sizes and levels of complexity.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in November 2016 in Venice and finished in March 2017 in Tezze sul Brenta (Vicenza), and was exhibited in Salone del Mobile in April 2017.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Laguna has been developed to supply lounge contract furniture with the feel of your home comfort. With Laguna modular sofa, the furniture becomes design and produce a comforting and relaxed space. The sinuous shape of the backrest was designed to give perfect lumbar support and the armrest is provided with usb charger for mobile devices like phones, tablets and laptop computers.
CHALLENGE: When I decided to launch my first modular sofa, I wanted a design that was both comfortable but not heavy. I have been exploring in-between spaces, and see how form and materials meet each other. I focused my attention on details (thin legs, a cut between seat and back) to inspire an idea of lightness and elegance.
