Floating around the corner<br />
Luigi’s defining feature is its wooden frame.<br />
This begins at the side and runs around the<br />
corner before finally finishing at the back. It is as<br />
if it is supporting the entire sofa/armchair. Because<br />
the frame appears to float, it also lifts up<br />
the sofa/armchair from the floor. This effect is<br />
achieved by a combination of optical illusions,<br />
as in fact each piece is set on 3 mm-high,<br />
concealed feet. At precisely the height of the<br />
wooden corner, the back makes an ergonomic<br />
and flexible bend. (A metal frame ensures dynamic<br />
resilience.) The coffee, corner and side<br />
tables all stick to the same height, thus enabling<br />
them to be seamlessly pushed together<br />
as an extension of the frame.<br />
