B&B Italia Michel Effe Sofa
MICHEL EFFE SOFA
MICHEL EFFE SOFA
Designed By Antonio Citterio
A seating system comprising of several elements, Michel Effe is an evolution of Michel that stands out for its essential style.
This variety in the product range, available in two depths, makes it possible to organise different types of in-line and modular compositions, from formal to casual. From the point of view of stye, it features a rigorous design in the base-frame and in the seat with a single cushion. More essential than its predecessors yet no less comfortable, in Michel Effe everything superfluous has been removed.
