Soft lines, smooth angles, perfect curves... Designed by Francesco Binfaré for Edra, Grande Soffice fits into any environment thanks to its pure forms. Its patented smart cushions allow you to recline the back of the sofa to find the best position to relax. The padding is made from Gellyfoam® and a large quantity of goose feathers. The result is a sofa with great comfort, which calls for relaxation.
Francesco Binfaré was born in Milan, Italy, in 1939. After completing his artistic training under his father, he began working for Cassina in 1960, initially as a researcher for new technologies and then as Cesare Cassina's assistant for new projects and later for the production of prototypes. From 1969 to 1976, he was director of Centro Cassina and was responsible for the creation of design classics such as "Up 5" by Gaetano Pesce (1969) and "AEO" by Paolo Deganello (1973). In 1980, he set up the Centro design e comunicazione to develop projects. After leaving Cassina in 1991, Francesco Binfaré designed seats that have become design icons such as the matching "L'Homme et la Femme" (1993), Tangeri (1994) and Angels (1996) sofas for Edra; the "Girotonda" armchair in 1994 and the "Grand'angolo" sofa in 1995 for Adele C.
