Customizable Acerbis Free System Modular Sofa by Claudio Salocchi
About the Item
Price listed for starting fabric.
3 ottomans
2 seat module
Claudio Salocchi’s design explores research in the decade
from the 1970s to the 1980s, when new ways of living and
experimentation were central to the work of Italian designers.
Free System revolutionises the idea of the lounge by suggesting
that free continuous seating could be the solution for the living
area. An upholstered system deriving from the concept of the
“patterned floor” or tatami, with free combination of the padded
modules.
The revolutionary potential of the Free System project is now
more contemporary than ever, perfect in any living area or
homescape.
Characterised by its total modularity and easy-to-combine
elements that aim to optimise the use of space. Free System is a
programme of upholstered furniture that goes beyond the sofa
typology, where the available elements - tatami, pouf and seat
with different, interchangeable backs - are the protagonists of a
modular system that can be combined in multiple combinations
and versatile, easy, unlimited configurations.
Structure
Upholstered furniture system with modular elements on a
supporting structure of solid wood and plywood, base with
elastic straps, feet and concealed coupling system.
Padding in single-density polyurethane foam and polyester
wadding.
Upholstery
The upholstery on seats and back is quilted to enhance softness
and increase seating comfort thanks to shaped polyurethane
rubber inserts.
The sofa is completely upholstered with removable covers.
The coupling system uses special plastic clips.
Available elements
_ seat module with curved backrest:
L100 D100 H74, seat H39 cm;
_ seat module with inclined backrest:
L100 D100 H74, seat H39 cm;
_ pouf module: L100 D100 H39 cm;
_ tatami module: L100 D100 H16 cm;
The upholstered modules can be joined together to create infinite
unlimited, continual, different configurations, creating islands or
linear, more regular, ordinary compositions.
The seat modules can also be used individually as pouf or tatami
elements.

Loveseat Sofa by Claudio Salocchi for Sormani Italy, c 1970, Signed
By Claudio Salocchi, Sormani
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This newly reupholstered loveseat sofa by Claudio Salocchi for Sormani, circa 1970s, features a graceful chrome frame with nubby white bouclé fabric. Signed with 1960s/ 1970s Sormani label as shown in photo gallery.
*Note, we have the matching pair of club chairs available in another listing.
The graceful frame shares a design quality with Cassina's LC2 / LC3 design by Le Corbusier, as they are 'buckets of cushions' in similar fashion and comfort. However this Sormani sofa features some unique subtle details, such as the slight "twist" in the rear legs (see photos).
Signed with a Sormani label, this particular rare design is attributed to Claudio Salocchi. While there were several other famous designers who created works for Sormani in this time period, the style best matches Salocchi's work. For collectors looking for something unique and rare within a collection of 1960s/ 1970s Italian designs, this pair two-seater couch is an amazing opportunity.
