Produced by Edra, the On the Rocks collection is made up of four independent, irregularly shaped elements that can be freely combined to create customised configurations. Each module can be assembled with any other on any side, giving a wide variety of possible configurations. The different modules, which lack a frame or rigid structure, are hand-moulded in a special blend and protected with foam, which provides softness and comfort. Two different sizes of organic-shaped backrests can be freely positioned on the structure. To add to the stone-like appearance of the On the Rocks sofa, the design of the upholstery fabric is inspired by the texture of rock. The result is a sofa that combines great modularity with maximum comfort.

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.
