Timeless Classic: The Flexform Groundpiece Sofa

Designed by Antonio Citterio, the Groundpiece reimagined the sofa for the 21st century, with new proportions that offered a lower, deeper, more relaxed and more casual approach to seating amplified by large, pillowy goose-down cushions. The Groundpiece’s greatest innovation remains Citterio’s reimagining of the armrest and seat back, which swap out rounded and often thin elements for wider flat surfaces that can be padded and upholstered — or made from metal with built-in shelves and clad with cowhide. The result is a multi-functional armrest or seat back that can be used as a flat surface for accessories, books, or a drink. It’s a testament to the Groundpiece’s timeless design, inherent utility, and superior comfort that, even after two decades, it remains one of Flexform’s most sought-after pieces.
