MILANESE BOURGEOIS
The Aldora Sofa is a contemporary spin
on a classical concept. It reminds you of
the allure of Milanese bourgeois extrava-
gance. The times when interiors were filled
with inviting curves and lavish materials.
Almost enchanting. The curves and unique
details of the compact Aldora Sofa leave
space for lightness and gives any room in
your home or office a touch of elegance.
BOTANICAL BEAUTY
Cristina Celestino often refers to her
deepened research of human-made nature
in her projects/designs. For the Aldora Sofa,
not just Milanese bourgeoisie inspired her,
but also the botanical world. The curved
backrests resemble the folding shape of the
calla lily. Dividing the seats’ backrests into
two partitions comes from the aesthetics of
the parting of an insect’s wings. By playing
with the scale and volume of the wings,
the backrest makes the sofa truly iconic,
turning the organic volumes into function.
This multifunctional iconic seater stands
out from the crowd thanks to its impressive
and sculptural backrest. Multifunctional
and customisable, as it is also available
as a chaise longue. Aldora can be uphol-
stered in many fabrics, but we recommend
Palette. A sophisticated and elegant
fabric that is warm and rich to the touch.
It reminds you of sumptuous mohair
with characteristics similar to velvet.

The soft feminine shapes of the
Aldora Sofa remind us of
the graceful petals of calla lilies
with the allure of Milanese
bourgeois decadence.
