FREE SYSTEM

Claudio Salocchi’s design explores research in the decade from the 1970s to the 1980s, when new ways of living and experimentation were central to the work of Italian designers.

Free System revolutionises the idea of the lounge by suggesting that free continuous seating could be the solution for the living area. An upholstered system deriving from the concept of the “patterned floor” or tatami, with free combination of the padded modules.

The revolutionary potential of the Free System project is now more contemporary than ever, perfect in any living area or homescape.

Characterised by its total modularity and easy-to-combine elements that aim to optimise the use of space. Free System is a programme of upholstered furniture that goes beyond the sofa typology, where the available elements- tatami, pouf and seat with different, interchangeable backs- are the protagonists of a modular system that can be combined in multiple combinations and versatile, easy, unlimited configurations.

Structure

Upholstered furniture system with modular elements on a supporting structure of solid wood and plywood, base with elastic straps, feet and concealed coupling system.

Padding in single-density polyurethane foam and polyester wadding.

Upholstery

The upholstery on seats and back is quilted to enhance softness and increase seating comfort thanks to shaped polyurethane rubber inserts.

The sofa is completely upholstered with removable covers. The coupling system uses special plastic clips.

Available elements

The seat modules can also be used individually as pouf or tatami elements.
