In daily life, in which we swiftly move through virtual and remote interactions, the Lilin Sofa has been conceived as an invitation to communication and conviviality. The soft shapes and rounded lines of the seat and backrest suggest a welcoming feeling of comfort, while the curve of its structure places those who sit in a more informal position, fostering relaxed communication.
