In 1973, Claudio Salocchi designed Free System: a system of padded furniture deriving from the concept of “operated flooring”, or tatami, where the padded units could be placed freely side by side.

Created in 1975 by Florentine architect Roberto Monsani, Life is a modular sofa and an armchair with a soft seat.
