249 Volage EX-S
Sofas from Cassina, Designed by Philippe Starck
Product description
Volage EX-S, a new generation of the sofa by Philippe Starck. The evolution of the Privé/Volage fixed sofa to a versatile sectional sofa.
For more than twenty years, Philippe Starck has undertaken with Cassina the task of rethinking the classic sofa. Volage EX-S is the result of this research. It is the centre of gravity of the home, a platform of energy where its user can freely live. Thanks to a complete range, this sectional sofa is the refined answer for those who are looking for timeless elegance in all living environments. “Timelessness always has this subtle elegance, this ‘je ne sais quoi’ called charm. Volage EX-S is the essence of timelessness.” Philippe Starck.
The quilted capitonné workmanship, an innovative process exclusively developed on an industrial scale together with Starck for the Privé and Volage sofas, has been redesigned and evolves in the Volage EXS project. The even effect of the padded backrest is maintained thanks to the use of a preformed polyurethane insert, however, following his instinct that ‘less is always more’, the designer changes the appearance of this model by replacing the traditional button with a simple and elegant stitch that hides the fastener inside the cushion. As a result its bourgeois aspect is stripped away and the sofa assumes a fresh and contemporary look. The evolution of Volage EX-S is particularly evident in its increased comfort, as highlighted in its name EX-S, extra soft: the sofa has a comfortable single cushion-seat and a wide armrest which both have a polyurethane core padded with feathers, a tempting invitation to gather and relax in the home. As with all Cassina products, meticulous attention has been paid to detail, for example in the visible stitching around the sofa’s perimeter and in the saddle-leather workmanship of the integrated functional tables.

Concept
Cassina and Philippe Starck extend the collection with multi-purpose Volage EX-S coffee tables.
“It is an exciting experience to put your coffee cup on historical architecture.
It’s inspiring to store your books in a zen garden” Philippe Starck. The Volage EX-S coffee table is a versatile collection designed by Philippe Starck with S. Schito which adapts to all living environments. The tables perfectly complement the Volage EX-S sofa which was conceived as a centre of gravity and a platform of energy for the home. The collection includes a coffee table which is available in two sizes, either with one simple top or two layered tops, and a storage coffee table which has a hollowed lower level that supports two adjustable wooded trays and a combined small table top set at a higher level on the side. The Volage EX-S coffee table is available in a variety of marbles, white Carrara, black Marquiña, grey Carnico or Emperador, while the aluminium base, like the legs of the Volage EX-S sofa, is available in polished, matt anthracite or gun metal diecast aluminium. During the 2018 Design Week, the ‘Sala delle Colonne’ of the newly renovated via Durini Showroom features a living room set dedicated to the works of Philippe Starck. The Volage EX-S sofa is the centre piece of this home environment alongside the Privé bench and the Volage armchairs, all characterised by Starck’s trademark quilted capitonné workmanship industrialised by Cassina, demonstrating how the new Volage EX-S tables can be perfectly combined.
