Comfort in a wide palette of colours
The style, typology and functional characteristics of Vitra sofas are so diverse that customers often immediately and intuitively recognise which model is the right choice for their needs. Yet all models have one thing in common: their superb comfort – whether it is invitingly soft like the Anagram Sofa or on the firmer side such as the Soft Modular Sofa, more upright like Suita Sofa or expansively luxurious as with Grand Sofà – as well as their use of high-quality, durable materials.
Sit as you like
A sofa's appeal is not just based on looks, but also on its 'inner values'. Decisive criteria are high-quality upholstery construction and correct seating proportions – for comfort and longevity.
Vitra uses both soft and firm types of upholstery padding. Alternatively, some people speak of rigid or casual upholstery. In the case of softer padding, the cover material will have a more rippled appearance – a desired result in regard to both design and construction. The general principle is: the softer the padding, the more deeply users will sink into the sofa – such as with the Anagram Sofa.
If the internal construction of the upholstery is more rigid, the cover fabric will remain smooth, with minimal rippling effect. The typical characteristics of firm upholstery are clean lines and a relatively stiff seat, as in the case of the Soft Modular Sofa or Suita Sofa. Firm upholstery makes it easier to sit down and get back up.

Choosing the right cover materials
The cover forms the shell of the sofa and is precisely tailored to the respective level of comfort. Upholstery covers in fabric and leather are part of the Vitra Colour & Material Library. The different materials and colours are carefully coordinated and curated to offer countless possible combinations. To help you choose the right cover material, you can order fabric and leather samples free of charge – to see whether you prefer a cool linen or cotton textile or a warm woollen fabric.

For a long-lasting sofa: removable covers
All Vitra sofa covers can be fully removed by the Vitra service team for cleaning and replacement. This not only applies to loose seat and back cushions but also to the covers of complicated body structures, such as Suita Sofa or Grand Sofà, with the aid of concealed hook and loop fastening systems.
With the Anagram Sofa, you can even remove the covers yourself and take them to be professionally cleaned - or replace them someday to give your sofa a brand-new look.
