Why choose a modular sofa? The answer is simple: because each module is independent of the other, and it is possible to furnish our spaces with the widest possible flexibility. Not all modular sofas, however, are created equal.
Today we decided to test one of the most famous best-sellers in the world: the Flexform Groundpiece sofa. Synonymous with high quality made in Italy, how will it meet our needs?
Let's define immediately what we are talking about. A sofa is called "modular" if it comes with a structure made up of independent elements, in particular, the seats and the backrest.
Having no constraints, the final structure will be customizable to the max, and can even be repeatedly redesigned and "remodelled" according to the needs of space, size, taste, and so on.
We have chosen to test our ideas on Flexform's Groundpiece, because it is certainly the most famous and appreciated modular sofa made in Italy in the world.
The work of Antonio Citterio's creative genius, the sofa is renowned from the United States to Saudi Arabia, passing through China.
What conquers, beyond its soft lines and quality elements, is certainly the possibility to customize its layout.
Seats, backrests, solid or bookshelf-integrated armrests, tables and pouffes of different sizes. All these elements are declined and combined with dozens of different fabrics, leathers and eco-leathers.
Linear or L-shaped compositions can be created to make the most of all available space.
So here are 5 ideas from which to take inspiration for a quality modular sofa. Our example is obviously on a Groundpiece basis, but the reasoning applies to (almost) everything.
When it comes to furnishing a large space, a series of different functions can be concentrated in a single design solution. We have thus created an L-shaped composition, integrating two useful bookcases inside the armrests covered in leather into the island sofa. And not only.
To give further movement, and complete the layout in functionality, we added comfortable islets in the centre of the room, half pouffe and half table - bookcase. The combination of different elements underlines and distinguishes the relaxation areas from the functional ones.
Modularity means adapting to space, even if reduced. This linear composition, for example, has in itself the essence of Flexform's Groundpiece sofa. Simplicity and effectiveness given by seats, bookcase armrest covered in leather and the coffee table element. A concentrate of style, quality and functionality, perfect in a modern living area.
Having open and bright spaces available, another classic L-shaped composition will be ideal for furnishing and giving movement to the room. The chaise longue element, comfortable and enveloping, is a guarantee of absolute relaxation, as well as a space divider. Note also the combination of contrasting fabric and leather, for a contemporary and captivating touch.
Modularity means free expression, such as creating a 360 ° sofa. A real island, with opposite double seats, joined by the central backrests. The ideal solution for a very spacious environment, of which you do not want to sacrifice any perspective and function. As in this example, passing from the TV corner to the nearby window with natural light.
To conclude, in modular compositions one thing not to forget is the flexibility of the details. For example, here we see in detail the element that made the Groundpiece one of the most famous category sofas in the world: the bookcase armrest. Entirely covered in leather and available in different colours, inevitable in any composition. A must-have that cannot be renounced if you choose to furnish your home with a Flexform sofa.
