Design Legacy: Tobia Scarpa’s Iconic Soriana Sofa
First introduced in 1969, the Soriana Sofa is a defining work of Italian modernism, crafted by legendary designer Tobia Scarpa. Scarpa’s vision was to create a sofa that felt both sculptural and inviting—one that balanced bold structural form with soft, enveloping comfort.
The Soriana’s signature design elements include:
- Fluid, Organic Silhouette: A sweeping, low-profile form that mimics the softness of draped fabric, creating a sense of movement and warmth in any space.
- Diamond Tufted Detailing: Hand-tufted starburst patterns across the seat and backrest, adding visual depth, texture, and a touch of old-world luxury.
- Exposed Strap Accents: Bold, stitched leather straps along the sofa’s sides, a nod to Scarpa’s architectural background and a defining feature of the original design.
- Modular Flexibility: Interchangeable components that let you rearrange the sofa to fit your space, from a linear three-seater to a custom sectional layout.
This design has stood the test of time, remaining one of the most coveted and recognizable sofas in modern design history.
