Anagram

Panter&Tourron, 2024

Adapts in a snap

Anagram is more than just a sofa: Anagram is a family made up of a few modules and elements that can be used to quickly respond to the needs of the moment as well as major changes. Anagram Sofa is the generously proportioned, soft seating range that is particularly suited to the home, while Anagram Club is slightly more compact and, with its more upright seating position, ideal for lounges, lobbies, libraries, hotels and other public spaces.
The Anagram platform modules are designed as islands that can be combined with other modules on all four sides and fitted with elements such as backrests, side panels and attachable tables. Thanks to an ingenious click mechanism, these elements can be freely positioned anywhere on the platform and rearranged in a matter of seconds. This allows for countless configurations and easy layout changes – from a classic L-shaped sofa or small reading nook to a practical sleeping area for guests, from a flat island-like meeting point in the centre of the room or formal waiting area to an S-shaped configuration promoting communication or a cosy retreat and many other possibilities.

Anagram: suits every space, taste and purpose

Anagram comes in two versions: Sofa and Club. Both are modular and can be easily reconfigured. Anagram Sofa is soft and spacious, inviting users to relax and recline. The slightly more compact Anagram Club features a more upright seating design and firmer upholstery.

From idea to system

Stefano Panterotto and Alexis Tourron explore the interplay between design, technology and society with their design studio Panter&Tourron. Driven by material research and technical innovation, they challenge convention and seek solutions for the evolving demands of everyday life. In developing Vitra’s Anagram sofa collection, they aspired to achieve maximum adaptability and longevity.
‘Vitra approached us with a very specific challenge: How can we build a sofa that works almost as a bridge from today to a living situation in the next 30 years? That’s where the idea of modularity and a flexible platform originated.’
