An extreme version of the modular sofa concept, Extrasoft delivers compositions of luxuriously soft low geometric blocks to create an undulating upholstered landscape. Piero Lissoni’s minimal concept was designed in 2008 and has become a 21st century classic. While the design took furniture in the direction of abstract expressionism it also payed homage to the comfort and low profile of the cushion-like seating found in Persia and other parts of the Middle East. Able to be easily reconfigured to suit a change of room or event, the design once again reinforces the brilliance of Italian designers when it comes to modular seating. Stripped of all non-essential elements but possessing beautifully subtle details, Extrasoft is modern classic that advances the great history of Italian sofa design into a new century.
Piero Lissoni studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milano and graduated in 1985. He began his career collaborating as designer and art director with furniture manufacturers Boffi, Living Divani, and Porro, and continues his relationship with all three brands today. In 1986, together with Nicoletta Canesi, Piero founded Lissoni Associati which expanded to include Graph X, the graphic design arm of the business in the same year. The studio now works across all fields of design including industrial, graphic, and product design, as well as architecture and interior projects for hotels, showrooms, retail spaces, private houses and yachts. Lissoni Associati has completed interiors for both Boffi and Cassina showrooms in Europe, the USA and Japan, as well as the headquarters for Living Divani in Italy. Among others, the studio’s impressive list of clients includes Alessi, Flos, Swarovski and Kartell.
Launched in 1993, Space is now the leading voice in design retailing across South East Asia. With a professional design team and a collection that includes the world’s best luxury brands, their philosophy centres on offering impeccable design, client experience and service.
