The curvaceous extravagance of Aldora Sofa

The inspiration for the Aldora Sofa by Italian designer Cristina Celestino ranged between this wide juxtaposition of concepts—Milanese bourgeois compound sofas, soft femininity, and botanica.

MILANESE BOURGEOIS

The Aldora Sofa is a contemporary spin on a classical concept. It reminds you of the allure of Milanese bourgeois extravagance. The times when interiors were filled with inviting curves and lavish materials. Almost enchanting. The curves and unique details of the compact Aldora Sofa leave space for lightness and gives any room in your home or office a touch of elegance.

BOTANICAL BEAUTY

Cristina Celestino often refers to her deepened research of human-made nature in her projects/designs. For the Aldora Sofa, not just Milanese bourgeoisie inspired her, but also the botanical world. The curved backrests resemble the folding shape of the calla lily. Dividing the seats’ backrests into two partitions comes from the aesthetics of the parting of an insect’s wings. By playing with the scale and volume of the wings, the backrest makes the sofa truly iconic, turning the organic volumes into function.

This multifunctional iconic seater stands out from the crowd thanks to its impressive and sculptural backrest. Multifunctional and customisable, as it is also available as a chaise longue. Aldora can be upholstered in many fabrics, but we recommend Palette. A sophisticated and elegant fabric that is warm and rich to the touch. It reminds you of sumptuous mohair with characteristics similar to velvet.
