Charles.
An architectural sofa whose lightness has made it a contemporary classic.
Light in form.
Open in use.
Charles reduces the sofa to a clear, horizontal line—then gives that line remarkable freedom.
Antonio Citterio’s design is defined by a slim profile, loose back cushions and distinctive inverted-L aluminium feet. The raised base gives even generous compositions an unusually airy presence, allowing the sofa to sit comfortably in both compact rooms and expansive architectural settings.
Its restraint is what gives Charles longevity. The design does not rely on a single gesture; proportion, comfort and modularity work together to create a sofa that can evolve with the room around it.
One language.
Many arrangements.
Charles can be composed as a linear two- or three-seat sofa, extended with a chaise longue, or developed into a corner setting. The catalogue moves from compact arrangements to complete seating landscapes, while the continuous raised base keeps every version visually calm.
A sofa that
changes with the room.
Charles, Charles Large and Charles Carré share a precise visual language while offering different depths, orientations and ways to gather. Sofas, chaise longues, benches, dormeuses and console elements allow the system to respond to circulation, views and the architecture around it.
Begin with how
the room lives.
We establish the room dimensions, circulation paths, focal points and preferred seating orientation.
We compare depths and select the sofa, corner, chaise, bench or console elements that best support the space.
Fabric or leather, cushion character and metal finish are considered together so the composition feels intentional.
