Venise

VENISE by: Gabriele e Oscar Buratti Venise is the floor sofa system strongly characterised in its formal expression also from the viewpoint of its dimensional and spatial character. The perfect interpreter of Lema’s bespoke series, Venise is defined by its spirit as a system and by its incredible versatility. A project with infinite possibilities, as dictated by the most current trends of interior design that, in the landscape of interior space, be it residential or contract, conceive of the sofa as a highly customisable complex compositional system. Multifunctional object: space can be at times dedicated to relaxation, and at others to conviviality. Venise responds to this demand by focusing on two primary factors: the elegance of the design and proportions that are emphasised by the bespoke attention to detail and the richness of compositional and geometric variables. Venise is based on two seat depths and two types of armrests, one that is narrower and high and the other that is wider and low. Technical characteristics which correspond to different ways of putting the sofa to use, in a more or less formal way. The wide armrest, for example, in a more relaxed sense of the sofa and its use, becomes a comfortable headrest, making it possible to abandon oneself totally to relaxation, reading or watching a movie. Another distinguishing feature of the system is the possibility of freely matching the various elements with each other, choosing whether or not to combine the same or different types of armrest and depths. Venise thus takes on a wide range of personalities, flexible to the spaces that welcome it and to the personality of those who will live it. The vast and diverse number of elements - centre and end pieces, corner connections, dormeuse, as well as special end modules with original shapes - trapezium, curved and drop - give structure to an extremely flexible system from a compositional viewpoint: from the simple closed or modular linear sofa, with or without armrests, that can be chosen identical or different, to the more complex compositions with particularly articulated geometries, angular and curved ones, able to interrupt the typical linearity of upholstered furniture with strongly contemporary lines.
