SAKE BY PIERO LISSONI 1من اصل2

‘This design comes from the search for lightness, A technological plat form,
magically suspended in the air like a flying carpet, with cushions added to
enclose the borders, and finally, legs to ground it. This is the basic idea of
the SAKe collection, made up of pieces for seating and sleep ing, designed
in a simple contemporary language, connected with my proportions. I liked
the idea of following in the wake of B&B Italia, of moderni ty. For me,
SAKe is a platform on which to float in peace. But it is also a sofa…”.
Piero   Lissoni.
SAKe signals the beginning of Piero   Lissoni’s collaboration with B&B Italia.
The design begins from a strongly contemporary seating system
distinguished by a careful search for formal balance. Seats in three sizes
(175,210 and 270 cm), with embracing or linear backs and arms of vari ous
dimensions added harmoniously to create a sofa adapted to the customer’s
space and personal taste. The system is enhanced with a chaise longue
element (105 x 135 cm) that lends itself to various interpretations: as the
terminal element in a linear composition, with a more enveloping back and
with the addition of arms, it can stand on its own or, alongside another
chaise lounge, it can create a sofa with deep seating. The details of the
cushions and supporting base contribute to the design’s lightness. The seat
cushion has refined modular stitching, ranging from 35 or 45 cm; the back
cushions, available in two sizes and another one for the sofa-bed, are
outlined by profiled bands. The seating system’s support base is made of
cross-bars with rounded steel legs connected to each other by a bar. All this
is finished in pewter paint.
