Suita Sofa by Antonio Citterio
I'm smitten with this modular sofa, designed by Antonio Citterio in 2010. Suita is his first non-office, non-waiting room collaboration with Vitra—that is, his first design for the home—and the piece is almost endlessly customizable.
The components to choose from include: one armed seats, two armed seats, a chaise shape, a desk/tray/shelf along the back, headrests, bolsters, and two sizes of ottomans—one to perch your feet, one to serve as a coffee table.
Suita comes with a wide array of options.
Some examples of Suita arrangements.
Adding a mounted shelf onto the back of the sofa creates a compact work space—or a spot for snacking. Just don't bump your soda bottle or wine glass...
An optional headrest creates a more formal, enclosed-feeling piece.
This overscaled ottoman, or 'platform,' is tightly upholstered and can be used for trays, books and magazines, or for tired feet.
The ideal setup for a long wall of windows: a chaise shape with headrest.
