Another novelty is Nuvola, a sofa that can be configured at will, which originates from a reinterpretation of the concepts expressed in last year's Modular, of which it represents an evolution, characterized, however, by a greater overall lightness, and with an even more distinct personality.
"I am almost always looking for organic shapes when I design, and the products I have already made for Molinari Design, such as Rondo and Otto, are examples of this. The starting point in my concepts is always the internal structure of the products, from which I then derive the external structure: function that becomes form. In this latest collaboration with Molinari Design, I chose to do exactly the opposite: to design a sofa enclosed within a geometric, linear design that could be encased into a corner, or set against a wall, without losing charm, balance, or style. Hence the challenge to create a seating with a shape capable of providing comfort, that was cozy, inviting, but that remained within the limits imposed by its general geometric silhouette. Nuvola is a squared sofa, if you observe it. But the seat originates from circular shapes that envelop the body, creating the sensation of resting on a cloud (hence the name Nuvola, in Italian). In Nuvola, I wanted to enhance the contrast between the geometries that constitute its dominant feature, its appeal: square shapes that are opposed to circular shapes. And to amplify this effect further, I chose visible stitching, which would emphasize the outer and inner lines of the item even more. The structure is then dominated by large feather cushions, which are almost foreign elements to the rest of the sofa, but which heighten the feeling of comfort you experience when you sit down." Says Lucy Kurrein.
