Matic, an innovative system of sofa components created by Piero Lissoni and conceived as a platform suspended in space, somewhere between an island and a work of architecture. The distinctive characteristics, here again, are aesthetics and technology.

Modular or linear, the collection stands out for its ample seats of different depths, covered in leather or fabric. It is composed of modules, including chaises longues and terminal peninsula units, to provide seats upholstered with evenly-sized squares, or detailed with a T-shaped seam, combined with a special curved back featuring a mechanism that can be turned to adjust comfort for relaxing, reading or conversation. The frontal profile – the key aesthetic feature of the design – enables adaptation to a wide range of settings.

Structure: the front structure profile is in aluminium with a glossy finish, charcoal painted colour or upholstered in fabric or leather. The upholstery is not removable.

Seat: the inner frame is in wood with elastic webbing, variable density polyurethane foam, layer in polyester wadding. Seta cushions upholstered in fabric or leather. Removable covers in fabric, non-removable covers in leather.

Arms and Back: in moulded flexible polyurethane, With metal structure, variable density polyurethane foam, layer in polyester wadding. Removable covers in fabric, non-removable covers in leather.

Pillows: are particularly recommended for the elements with a dept of 107cm.
