Floe Insel 4-seater sofa with chaise longue by Patricia Urquiola

Rooted in architectural tradition, the design of the Floe Insel sofa embodies the principles of modularity and versatility in bold proportions, creating generous and inviting volumes that convey a dynamic spirit. The constructive harmony of the Floe Insel sofa is the result of an in-depth exploration by the designer of the relationship between volume and softness of the cushions. By optimizing the relationship between the padding and the elastics, flexibility and support become one. Each element incorporates an asymmetrical line at an angle of 25 degrees from the horizontal, making it unique and different. The seats and backrests feature diagonal stitching that enhances the sense of movement. The padded profile on the external edges of the cushions and armrests confirms Cassina's mastery in carrying out the complex task of adapting linear stitching to an asymmetric structure.
