The Arcolor Trapezoid Modular Sofa by Arflex, designed by Jaime Hayon in 2017, is part of an expressive modular seating system developed around the classical geometry of the arch. The disciplined use of curved forms gives the collection its distinctive organic character while allowing individual elements to be combined into a variety of compositions. The trapezoid sofa introduces a more dynamic geometry to the Arcolor system. Arflex lists trapezoid sofas in 252 cm and 356 cm widths, alongside trapezoid island elements, conventional sofas, armrest modules, armless units, a corner element and poufs. Built around a metal and MDF frame, the system uses differentiated-density shaped polyurethane, a polyester slipcover and elastic-strap springing. The Arcolor Trapezoid Modular Sofa base is lacquered metal with protective glides, combining the collection's sculptural upholstery with a visually defined supporting element.
