Alfa Sofa – Zanotta

Designed by
Emaf Progetti – 1999, 2000

In this way, the sofa Alfa (one of the first, well-measured designs by Francesca Zanotta for Emaf Progetti) becomes the omega of a sophisticated, bourgeois and updated taste, which, against a simplification of lines, does not give up the idea of comfort, the promise of wellbeing made by the most traditional of textile surfaces, i.e. deep-buttoned upholstery, showing that peculiar motif of stitching, which here is restricted and almost only evoked in the sitting elements, while the stock of several pillows, of different sizes, to be freely added to the base of the sofa, helps to convey the feeling of a soft and protective ‘shelter’.
