SOFA4MANHATTAN
SOFA4MANHATTAN COLLECTION
DESIGN LERA MOISEEVA IN COLLABORATION WITH LUCA NICHETTO
The successful New York crowdcrafting event of the SOFA4MANHATTAN designed by Lera Moiseeva in collaboration with Luca Nichetto, led to the first prototype made by Berto and Design-Apart. Today it becomes a Signature Collection, an almost infinite variety of modular extensions obtained by combining the unmistakable slim backs with multiple square and rectangular padded seating, linear or angular bases, fabric or leather upholstery and contrast stitching. The project incorporates the concepts of wellbeing, peace and relaxation originating from the conversations during the making of the first prototype. The idea of shelter provided by a nest, a comfortable place to work, to enjoy intimate family moments or simply relaxing with friends were given the highest importance. The design combines both high backs, which offer warmth and protection and provide a place to contemplate the world. The Sofa4Manhattan confirms the commitment of the company towards new ways of interpreting design, production and distribution. The new SOFA4MANHATTAN Collection also endorses the company’s’ open ecosystem: inviting the public to work together because together they share the same desire to live and enjoy life in an environment that is completely hand tailored and custom made. In New York, just as in Miami and in Milan.
The creators Filippo Berto, Diego Paccagnella and Stefano Micelli for Berto + Design-Apart Designers Lera Moiseeva in collaboration with Luca Nichetto
