giulio iacchetti designs modular summit sofa for casamania

‘summit’ by giuilo iacchetti is characterised by a system of joints which results in a modular sofa that can be adjusted according to different scenarios — from a linear sofa to two semi-frontal armchairs. the simple form of ‘summit’, intentionally comprised of straight lines and volumes, affords these configurations. developed for italian brand casamania, the design’s movement is manual, made possible by a natural leather handle that is sewed into the back of the seat cushions. with a reinforced embossed black metal base and upholstered with a completely removable elastic lining, the sofa adapts itself to private areas, and the contract market. the ‘summit’ sofa was unveiled at the 2015 salone del mobile.

‘summit stands for meeting or gathering and we know that this sofa has a great vocation to host people who want to communicate and speak looking at each other in the eyes, even when sitting on the same sofa.’ – giulio iacchetti
