The Punta Ala sofa, with enveloping and rigorous primary geometries, has an essential metal structure, to form a basket that is both solid and light, which contains the soft support parts, giving a feeling of pleasant relaxation. Set product image
Punta Ala establishes a dialogue centered on the contrast between the tubular, taut lines of the supporting body and the elementary, soft volumes, using a vocabulary made up of compositional purity, obtaining as a result a sofa with an airy and light shape. The aesthetic leitmotif is represented by the straps with a pleasantly elaborate warp and weft design, one of a kind. The straps, originating from a single ribbon, follow one another in the backrest, forming a spiral weave in a movement without solutions of continuity, producing a dynamic zig-zag design, particularly characterizing. The resulting sensation is one of lightness and freshness, like a sea breeze that caresses and invigorates.
The originality of the signs, with an indisputable identity, and the combination of relaxation and aesthetic pleasure that is perceived at first glance, make Punta Ala a sofa with which to immediately become familiar: a design solution that reaffirms the desire to create models with a marked sensitivity, discreet protagonists of innate elegance. It is possible to integrate some satellite elements into the structure autonomously: minimal protrusions, small promontories such as solid wood service surfaces, fulfill with compositional originality, like rhythmic punctuations, the need for support along the entire rear and side perimeter of the sofa.
