About this product
Architonic ID: 20739016
Year of Launch: 2023
Sometimes, the best thing in the world that we aspire to is nothing more than a warm hug. The song "Close to Me" by The Cure is about one of these moments, and the Close to Me sofa is exactly like one of those hugs. Endowed with a charming aesthetic, yet strong and warm in character, Close to Me offers an unmistakable sense of hospitality. The volumetric construction is expressed through soft and wavy cushions, endowed with a lived-in, shabby-chic, infinitely welcoming elegance. This combination of form and comfort, with class and distinction, is a perfect harmony between the precision of artisan tailoring and a 21st century style.The hallmarks of Close to Me are formal clarity and meticulous attention to detail. The elliptical feet of the sofa not only serve the natural support function, but are also characterizing sculptural elements, expressive down to the smallest detail. The belt that wraps around the sofa offers both a physical and visual embrace, and combines the suppleness of the backrest with the cushions/armrests in an intimate gesture. The leather bands and the metal buckles of the belt, strictly modeled, best represent the quality of the exclusive finishes, enhancing the entire collection.
Concept
The Close to Me sofa offers a sense of hospitality thanks to its comfortable appearance. Its elliptical feet are not only essential for support, but also have a sculptural design. The belt that wraps around the sofa seems to be an embrace that joins the back to the cushions. It is perfect for furnishing a minimal living room, a more informal and modern living area or a hotel lobby.
The sofa's uniqueness lies in the backrests, which can be made high, low or a mix of both. The upholstery, made in Italy of high quality craftsmanship, is further embellished by a belt that wraps around it and creates a special play of shapes and colours.
The metal base, available in various colours, completes the linear silhouette of the sofa.

Mauro Lipparini graduated in 1980 from the University of Florence’s Department of Architecture where he has also been a faculty member. A leader and innovator in the style that has been called “natural minimalism,” Lipparini is a winner of the Young & Design Milano (Italy 1987) and International Du Pont Award Köln (Germany 1988 and 1989) international design competitions. Lipparini’s extensive work in the field of industrial design includes home and office furnishings, textiles, and other products created for a host of renowned European and Japanese firms. In the realms of architecture and interior design, Lipparini has concentrated primarily on private and public housing, retail and wholesale showrooms, and exposition installations. Lipparini also provides cutting-edge corporate identity construction services including graphic design, editorial, full-scale production, and product application. Lipparini’s style, rooted in the spare forms and clear, powerful lines that are the hallmarks of minimalism, is imbued with a spirit of joy, a buoyant sense of pleasure and possibility. Freely employing bold colors, organic textures, imaginative visual concepts, Lipparini broadens the palette of minimalism, conveying the immediacy and strength of the aesthetic into a new era.
