Desiree Arlon Sofa
ARLON SOFA
ARLON SOFA
Designed by Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez
Compositional freedom and streamlined lines for Arlon equipped with two variants of armrests ready to accommodate soft cushions: the first is a decidedly slender and classic design, the second rich and functional.
A sofa with a light and elegant appeal and soft seats that look as if they are suspended in
mid-air.
The slim yet sturdy armrests resemble large, light and perfectly harmonious wings.
