About the Item

Orbis Modular Sofa Set by Luigi Colani for COR, Germany, ca. 1970 This striking Orbis modular sofa set, designed by the visionary Luigi Colani for COR in the 1970s, is a bold example of Space Age design with its sculptural, organic shapes and futuristic appeal. Known for his "biodesign" philosophy, Colani created furniture that mimicked the soft, flowing forms found in nature, rejecting traditional linear design in favor of more ergonomic and human-centered forms. The set consists of four modular elements: three seating units and one matching coffee table, all designed to fit together in a seamless, flowing arrangement. The low, rounded profiles of the seats create a cozy, lounge-like atmosphere that reflects the informal, experimental spirit of 1970s interior design. Each seat has been newly upholstered in high-quality ribbed velvet, adding a contemporary touch while honoring the luxurious, tactile aesthetic of the period. The updated fabric enhances both comfort and visual depth, making this set as practical as it is collectible. Rare and highly sought after, the Orbis set stands as a statement piece in any interior—an iconic blend of futurism, comfort, and craftsmanship from one of Germany’s most innovative designers.
