The new system takes shape from a suspended base, a solid thin line covered in leather, fabric or both, on which generous volumetric padded elements rest. The Horizonte modular seating system is the result of a clear architectural vision: a rigorous shape, raised seven centimetres off the ground thanks to a recessed plinth in matt black varnished metal, which gives the sofa a special feeling of suspension. A platform on which the upholstered elements are located - seats, backrests and armrests - all conceived as large cushions with bold proportions and a strong personality. It is not only the dimensions that characterise these modules, but also their unprecedented softness, capable of maintaining a precise formal aesthetic, despite their welcoming sinkable effect.
Horizonte is a modular seating collection. The design solves the problem of creating a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing seating solution with a sophisticated style code that can be used in various configurations. The user benefits from exceptional comfort and softness, given by the technologyes applied in cushioning, that ensures the seat maintains its shape and molds itself to the user's body. What makes it unique compared to similar projects is its suspended base, which gives the sofa a special feeling of suspension and adds a touch of elegance. The combination of materials, such as leather or fabric, and the attention to detail.
This design serves society by providing a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing seating solution. It enhances the quality of life by offering individuals a cozy and supportive environment to relax and socialize. The innovative features and materials used in the design contribute to the overall well-being and comfort of users. Additionally, its versatile configuration options allow for various seating arrangements, accommodating different social settings and needs. Fluffy padding is obtained from certified 100% recycled PET.
This design is considered new due to its innovative features and unique combination of elements.

The use of generous volumetric padded elements and bold proportions in the seats, backrests, and armrests adds a strong personality to the design. Additionally, the incorporation of advanced technology in cushioning ensures unprecedented softness and comfort. These novel aspects set this design apart from traditional seating systems and contribute to its fresh and contemporary appeal.
