Dezeen promotion: creases are stitched into the cushions of this sofa, designed by Italian architect Antonio Citterio for furniture brand Flexform, to emphasise the natural folds created by sitting.
Flexform launched the Adda sofa at the Salone del Mobile furniture fair in Milan in April 2017. It takes its name from a word used to describe a place where people gather and socialise.

Citterio borrowed the muted colour palette of Italian still-life painter Giorgio Morandi when choosing the colours. He selected the neutral ivory and sand tones that are typical of Morandi's work, along with leather in shades of cowhide, tobacco, honey and dove grey.
The cushions are supported by slender metal base, with metal feet available in a choice of satin, chrome, burnished, black chrome or champagne finishes. According to Flexform, the sofa offers a "contemporary, timeless, and warm aesthetic", and "an intimate cocoon effect".

Founded in Italy in 1967, Flexform is a family business that is now in its third generation. The sofas are made in a single production plant in Meda, using the most local resources available.
The Adda sofa was the furniture category winner of the 2017 edition of the Archiproducts Design Awards, judged by designers including Carlo Ratti, Marcio Kogan from Studio MK27 and Mario Bellini.
