The sofas of the Salone del Mobile 2022 and their infinite compositions

Open shapes and soft, generous volumes by designer Patricia Urquiola. This is how Sengu Bold by Cassina was born, outdoing its predecessor - Sengu Sofa - enhancing comfort and encouraging conviviality. The wooden structure is there but cannot be seen, while the curves of the upholstery stand out until they reach the ground.

The René sofa, designed by Andrea Parisio for Meridiani, is a round, "cosy and comfortable home", as the brand defines it. The available units and the combination of materials makes this a flexible choice, together with the rounded elements that complement each other. The ottomans are also available in different shapes and with different finishes and with an internal top in glass, marble or leather. The result is a unique piece of furniture that reflects the personality of those who choose it in every small detail.

The Panoramic Sofa, designed by Piero Lissoni for Knoll, is a new multifunctional proposal designed to change in relation to its surrounding space, with almost infinite configurations. From a vis-à-vis, to a super chaise longue, an island, a bench, a daybed or an enticing sofa. The three mobile backs can also be adjusted and repositioned with a simple gesture. What does not change, however, is its comfort and elegance.

The Noah monobloc modular sofa systems, designed by Damian Williamson for Zanotta, makes them suitable for any type of space, from the largest to the smallest. Straight and curved elements also maximise their versatility.

Cleo is the new design by Vincent Van Duysen, architect and creative director of Molteni&C. The modular system allows for many compositions thanks to its rectilinear, angular and self-standing elements. The frame, defined as the "heart of the project", is a "harmonious curvilinear shell" that accommodates both the seat and the back. It almost seems as if Cleo is floating in the middle of the room, thanks to the feet made of a thin layer of varnished steel.
