In envisioning new styles of living, Roberto Monsani imagined solutions to reshape the home, and the Life couch — so avant-garde it was never produced in series in Monsani’s day — retains its modern edge. Maintaining its modular and flexible design, today the sofa’s original lucite frame has been elongated and updated with versions in dark stained walnut and black ash for contemporary living ideals. Designed to invite casual lounging, the supremely comfortable down cushions are now rendered ever more inviting in velvet, with softened shapes for absolute ease.

Ash is a special veneer that is particularly suitable for "open-pore" painting because it always shows a very natural vein even after treatment.
Canaletto walnut has a medium tone with soft colour variations, making it one of the most popular woods in recent years. The dark colour shade enhances the value and elegance of the material.
