Limbo collection by Italian company Pianca : unlike the new contemporary living room sofa that is usually neutral, geometric and rather austere, here is one that sits flat on the ground and appears soft, overstuffed and comfortable.
An elaborate collection of sofas, whose basic frames and main characteristics are defined but, at the same time, whose geometries and finishes are completely free and totally customizable by the end-user. The large platforms that support sofas and armchairs, are freely configurable, as well as seats and cushions, extremely flexible in their shapes and structural components to allow different degrees of comfort and various uses.
