Grand Sofa by Antonio Citterio for Vitra
Grand Sofá is Antonio Citterio’s interpretation of luxurious comfort and contemporary design. Citterio’s Italian flair for lightness and elegance is united with Vitra’s trademark quality and Swiss precision.
The clean lines and geometric forms of the generously proportioned sofa elements create a spacious platform for sitting or reclining. Grand Sofá has a graceful silhouette: the slim, fabric-covered body is doubly angled to form a cascading seat, backrest and rearward ledge. The body is supported at two points under each end of the seat surface and behind the backrest by a bridge-like aluminum base frame, making the sofa appear to float above the floor.
Designer: Antonio Citterio, 2017
Manufacturer: Vitra
Dimensions:
3-Seat with Full Backrest: 91″w | | 30.75″d | 35.5″h | 15.75″h seat
Construction:
Seating elements are open on the sides, which emphasizes the horizontal planes of Grand Sofá. Choose between a full-length backrest or a shortened version. This makes it possible to produce large seating arrangements with gaps and viewpoints – a sofa landscape with an almost topographical character, conveying an expression of lightness and variability.
The seat and back cushions of Grand Sofa are available with or without tufting. Both versions are filled with high-quality padding that provides extraordinary comfort, yet each has a distinctive look: the classic untufted pillows have a subtle, calm appearance, while the rhythmic indentations in the tufted cushions emphasise the horizontal lines of Grand Sofa and add a touch of hand craftsmanship
Thanks to the open composition of Grand Sofa and the spatial options this creates, it is possible to sit behind the sofa and use the fabric-covered ledge for laptop work or other tasks. The shelf-like ledge is also suited for storing books, magazines and accessories. To accommodate objects such as glasses, bottles or vases, it can be equipped with the Sofa Tray, which is angled along the sides to fit over the edges. Turned upside down, the Sofa Tray can be used as a practical surface on any flat area of the sofa.
Grand Sofa is available in a beautifully curated selection of fabrics and leathers. Together with the different elements, variable backrests, selection of cushions, and base finishes in polished aluminum or powder-coated in white or black, this opens up a multitude of possibilities for individual seating arrangements.
