The Tokio Sofa by Arflex, designed by Claesson Koivisto Rune in 2018, is a sophisticated seating system defined by generous proportions and a soft yet distinctly architectural geometry. Its sculpted volumes avoid sharp corners, creating an inviting composition with a refined contemporary presence. Designed as a highly versatile system, Tokio can be arranged in a wide variety of configurations, from traditional sofa layouts to freestanding seating islands. The collection encompasses sofas, modular elements, curved configurations and poufs, allowing the composition to respond to different spaces and layouts. The construction combines metal and poplar plywood with differentiated-density shaped polyurethane padding. The Tokio sofa is upholstered in fabric with a fully removable cover, while graphite-lacquered metal feet subtly elevate the composition above the floor.
