Baxter values the emotion and sensory nature that's at the heart of the brands creations. The Milano sofa blends technology and emotion. This new collection is an invitation on a journey. Baxter has worked on comfort with soft, reassuring shapes. The Milano sofa has a reassuring size, as if the seat is protecting us. An extremely comfortable, elongated seat characterises the Milano sofa. Baxter has also worked to include warm, reassuring colours. The organic design of the Milano sofa is inspired by nature and all its forms that are reflected in Baxter creations.
