Suita
Antonio Citterio, 2010/2019
The Suita sofa system combines light and slender volumes with an industrial and technological aesthetic. The geometrically precise body and cushions seem to float above the sleek, bridge-like aluminium legs, in what can be seen as a tribute to mid-century American design. The Suita sofa family encompasses a wide range of components. These can be used as independent elements or freely combined to adapt to all kinds of interior environments and furnishing needs.
Types of upholstery
The elegant Suita sofa family encompasses a wide range of elements that can be freely combined with one another. A choice of different cushion types augments the adaptability of this system to fulfil personal needs and preferences.
The sleek body, consisting of a tubular steel frame covered in moulded polyurethane foam with web suspension, forms the basis of all Suita models. The seat and back cushions come in a choice of firm or soft versions, and are optionally available with tufting.

Head section, shelf, legs and frame
Added to a freestanding Suita Sofa, the rear-mounted shelf makes a perfect temporary workspace in combination with a laptop and a chair. Positioned against the wall, the shelf offers a convenient surface for storage and display. And a head section fitted to the sofa not only provides extra support, but also helps to block out noise and visual stimuli.
The structural body of Suita rests on bridge-like legs. Shelf elements and head sections are also attached to the legs. The Suita Sofa has a comfortable seat height of 25 cm. The aluminium legs and frame have a polished finish or are alternatively powder-coated in soft light or basic dark.

Leather covers
Available in a choice of four different high-quality leathers with diverse material properties, Suita can also be personalised by selecting from a wide palette of colours. The carefully sewn seams are a specific design feature of Suita in leather, whose cushions are always firmly upholstered.
