1480 Sofia is drawn almost entirely in curves. The backrest rolls inward at the top and the sides follow it round, so the chair closes toward the sitter rather than presenting a flat back and two arms.

A wood frame carries a foam seat. Foam is the right choice for a shape this rounded — it holds the curve crisply where a feather fill would slump and lose the outline that defines the chair.

From the Quiet Luxury collection by Gianluigi Landoni. Proportioned for a formal sitting room, where its footprint stays modest despite the enveloping shape.
