Moving away from rigid angles in favour of soft, organic lines, Antonio Citterio’s Quincy seating system for Flexform pairs a continuous structural shell with plush down-filled comfort to create an inviting focal point for contemporary interiors.
Conceived to become the focal point of the room, the Quincy sofa departs from rigid angles to explore a more organic shape capable of redefining the living space with a strong sense of identity. Sinuous curves alternate with linear sections, while gently rounded corners shape an enveloping silhouette. The result is a carefully balanced dialogue between softness and rigour that lends the piece a sculptural yet inviting appeal.
An Enveloping Shell and Down-Filled Comfort
The core of the design relies on a continuous, one-piece shell that envelops soft, down-filled seat cushions. This balance delivers a supple feel and high level of comfort, fostering an atmosphere of intimacy and togetherness.
“Quincy stems from a reflection on the role of the sofa in contemporary spaces,” explains Antonio Citterio. “The choice of a curvilinear configuration introduces a more fluid and convivial dimension to the living area, while maintaining a clear architectural structure. The design is based on the balance between the continuous backrest shell, which defines the structure of the sofa, and the down-filled seat cushions placed within it, crafted to offer natural, welcoming comfort.”
Modularity and Tailored Configurations
Quincy is engineered as a dynamic seating system designed for sharing. Its generous range of modular components, including a softly contoured chaise longue, enables fluid arrangements that integrate naturally alongside more formal furnishings in the same interior.
