The Milanese designer gives the tradition form by working on an elegant ash frame made up of details (like the unusual leg profile), paired with a large leather support structure that contains the seat. Big fabric cushions fixed to the back, arms and seat ensure comfort and soften the overall outline of the piece.

Thanks to the special design of the timber frame, a triumph featuring a triangle and diagonals reminiscent of the warmest, most domestic version of the classic late 18th-century English bench, plays of light and see-through effects percolate through flowing volumes and narrow openings to give this sofa a wonderful lightness.

The decision to use padding to complete the project – territory that is more than familiar to both Dordoni and Cassina – results in unstructured cushions that are large but in perfect proportion, so well coordinated with the support structure that they immediately suggest the feeling of comfort and wellbeing the designer and manufacturer of Eloro had in mind.
