Concept
Modular and adjustable sofa
“We can pronounce it both as the Latin term and as in English (I prefer Latin). Summit stands for meeting or gathering and we know that this sofa has a great vocation to host people who want to communicate and speak looking at each other in the eyes, even when sitting on the same sofa”. Giulio Iacchetti
Summit is a modular and adjustable sofa.
The characteristic that makes it unique of its kind, is the possibility – thanks to a system of joints – of moving in the space and acquire different shapes according to the situations: from a linear sofa, to two semi-frontal armchairs. The movement is manual and made possible by a natural leather handle, sewed on the back of the seat. The strong iconic character of Summit’s shape leads to consider it as a simple sofa, intentionally linear and volumetric that, thanks to its mobility can be immediately transformed into other kinds of seats. With a reinforcing embossed black metal base and uphostelered with a completely removable elastic lining it adapts both to residential areas, and to the market of contract.
