Chicago is a sofa for lying down on. Paola Navone rounded every edge, so you can lean in from any side without meeting a corner.
The engineering explains why it stays comfortable. Above the differentiated-density foam sits a microfibre layer split into independent channels, each with a different fill. The filling cannot all slide to one end, and the cushion keeps its profile. Raw-edge seams and a leather piping create small tensions across the surface, and that is exactly where the softness shows.
There are plenty of modules: complete sofas of 240 and 320 cm, arm units, centre units with or without back, a 120 cm corner, ottomans and a 160 cm wide armchair. The newest units reach 173 × 178 cm for compositions you live on like a platform. Wengé-stained beech feet are 4 cm high, or 7 cm on request at no extra cost.
