Black swan - Saba

lack swan — design Paolo Grasselli
The idea was sparked by the eponymous film and more precisely
by a series of frames in which, accompanied by a flurry of music and
dance, a white swan transforms into a black swan and the diaphanous
and elegant Odette turns into an equally fine but more disturbing
character matched by the metamorphosis of the arms into wings.The
sofa undergoes a similar transformation. Starting from
a traditional and rational design focused on finding a balance between
the soft cushions and the light frame, reminiscent of the elegance
and precision of a ballet dancer, the sofa transforms itself with the
cushions doubling and changing size, color and shape. The classical
precision turns into expressive movement and a polite exchange
of signs and proportions allows for the harmonious existence of
minimalism and maximalism. Thus the necessity for a formal and
linear sofa need not exclude the desire to have a more intimate and
warm space, akin to a nest. The cushions, while maintaining a visual
and tactile softness, are self-supporting and replace the frame of the
sofa in parts. This underlines the idea of having a series of cushions
that, depending on their layout, quantity and arrangement, add to the
aesthetics of the sofa itself. Completely removable covers.
