552 Floe Insel Sofa

Cassina 552 Floe Insel Sofa
Floe Insel emerged from Patricia Urquiola’s desire to create an unforgettable, versatile modular system, inspired by icebergs, whose sculptural, monolithic bulk floats weightlessly on water. A soft mass, made up of different geometries provided by a play of angles recalls formless blocks of ice. A family of dynamic elements which – through its generous volumes – evokes a classical element, comfort, deriving from in-depth research aimed at achieving the best possible balance between cushion thickness and softness; the careful study of the ratio between elastic belts and the inner gaps in the foam give the seat and backrest cushions the optimum flexibility, without sacrificing their asymmetrical features. The system comprises a three-seater sofa and a footrest, which can be used independently.
