The Suita Club sofa and armchair belong to the large Suita family which includes sofas, chaise longue, and a daybed. They will find their place in offices, lobbies or in various public spaces; they can be perfectly combined with other elements of the Suita collection. The Suita Club's padding ensures optimal comfort without the need for additional cushions. The Suita Club sofa and armchair are available in a multitude of upholsteries – fabrics or leathers – as well as in a wide range of colours. Its base comes in basic dark, soft light or polished aluminium.
The Suita Sofa system combines light and slender volumes with an industrial and technological aesthetic. The geometrically precise body and cushions seem to float above the sleek, bridge-like aluminium legs, which can be seen as a tribute to mid-century American design.
The Suita Sofa family consists of many individual components. These can be used as independent elements or freely combined to adapt to all kinds of interior environments and furnishing needs.
