a living room system designed to define the domestic landscape in a fluid, flexible manner. This is esosoft ‒ the first project by antonio citterio for cassina ‒ a modular sofa that embodies the timeless elegance and style the italian designer is known for and, at the same time, is an aspirational tribute to the art of the great masters and to the practice of visualizing furniture by detaching the structural part from its padded interior. In fact, esosoft consists of an aluminium exoskeleton and a shell with an organic silhouette upon which soft cushions are placed. Past and future coexist in this shape ‒ reminiscent of the concept of casual comfort typical of the 1960s ‒ that benefits from cutting-edge production techniques, mindfully chosen to make the system circular and sustainable. Thanks to the work of cassina lab, materials like a polyurethane foam that contains a percentage of polyols deriving from biological sources and blown recycled pet fibre in the backrest cushions.
