Float
Float is a new modular sofa system that presents cushions supported by a
seemingly invisible structure, as if they are floating on air. The magical effect
created by these floating cushions is made possible by the arrangement
of feet outside of the padded form. A double layer of cushions, supported
by a metallic sheet, provides optimal comfort and strength, while a
crossbar that runs back and sideways containing the cushions, supports
the headrest elements and gives structural integrity. The Float sofa is
supported by a thin yet robust steel structure and is designed to allow
for comfortable sitting, resting and invites users to “flop down” on it.
The Float collection comes in four versions: a one, two and threeseater sofa,
as well as an L-shaped option. The collection is modular and the individual
components are designed to be combined in a multitude of comfortable
configurations. The Float Sofa system can be further customised with a
range of accessories, including a backseat, headrest and a series of pillows
that can be arranged in different layouts to give the sofa a different look
and function. Float is also available with optional built-in wooden sides
tables, which come in two sizes, an ancestral element that De Lucchi sees as
inextricably linked to the idea of the home and of handmade construction.
