sofa Casa Modernista

Description

The Modernist collection - despite having roots and references in Modernism - stands out for its ambitious attempt to integrate the figurative component, typical of the works of Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien, with the linear rationality of the geometric structure of the rectangle. The result, in terms of formal innovation, is an achievement. The two designers contrast the classicism of the composition, the proper attention to the rendering of surfaces and materials, the accentuation of a few significant details: the central button denies and at the same time reworks the bourgeois charm of the capitonné workmanship, while the base moderates the aesthetics of industrial processing, updated in the choice of colors and in the use of laser-cut steel, folded and welded into a single structure. With Casa modernista - a veiled homage to Gregori Warchavchik, a Russian-Ukrainian architect recognized for his role as promoter of modern architecture in Brazil in the 1920s - the formal precision and objective sobriety present in the first models softens towards a greater openness to relaxation and to spontaneity. The cushions lose their rigor, the seat becomes deeper and more welcoming, the lines relaxed. The sofa, in the change, becomes the transition space between opposing interpretations of time: productive and disconnected, relational and private, temporary and continuous. Casa Modernista completes the basic Modernista project with two sofas modified in size and comfort. Thought for a more residential use, the sofas still maintain the distinctive qualities of the initial project. Fire-retardant polyurethane foam with different densities and polyester fiber with internal wooden structure. Seat with steel supporting structure and elastic belts. Laser-cut, shaped and powder-coated steel base. Cushions with polyurethane foam insert, polyester fiber and memory foam chip. The Casa Modernista 1 collection is removable. Leather is fixed.
