Soft and enveloping lines that form gentle surfaces with comfortable roundness, distinguishing the entire Softbay collection, ranging from comfortable sofas and design armchairs to the upholstered double bed.
The solid Canaletta walnut wood end-feet define the extremity of these furniture elements, reminding the shape of a paper clip. These elements with the soft shape are distinctive, supporting and keep the entire structure together. The cover is available in different fabrics and leathers of the collection and makes the Softbay family suitable for the most different living room needs. The cover that best enhances all the elements is undoubtedly the Bouclage fabric, a precious blend of cotton, linen and wool.
