Modular Sofas at GRAYE - Contemporary Systems of Comfort, Structure, and Adaptability
Modular sofas have become central to contemporary interior design because they function less as fixed furniture objects and more as adaptable spatial systems. Defined by flexibility, proportion, and composition, they allow living spaces to shift between openness and enclosure without architectural intervention.
At GRAYE, we focus on modular seating systems that balance technical precision with a clear design language, developed by leading contemporary designers in Italian and European furniture design.
Rather than a single silhouette, these systems are defined by how each module responds to spatial use, configuration, and material expression.
Extrasoft by Piero Lissoni
The Extrasoft sofa by Piero Lissoni, designed for Living Divani, is one of the most recognizable expressions of soft modular seating.
Defined by low, generous cushions and informal geometry, it allows modules to be arranged in structured or irregular compositions. Lissoni’s approach removes hierarchy between elements, treating each module as part of a continuous landscape rather than a fixed arrangement.
The result is a system that adapts easily across linear, corner, and open configurations, particularly in large interiors where seating becomes a spatial field rather than a perimeter object.
Dao Soft by Gordon Guillaumier
The Dao Soft sofa by Gordon Guillaumier, designed for Frigerio introduces a more sculptural interpretation of modular seating.
Defined by enveloping volumes and high backrests, the system prioritizes comfort and enclosure while maintaining configurational flexibility. Its layered foam structure supports ergonomic performance across both residential and contract use, while upholstery detailing reinforces its refined character.
Dao Soft balances softness and structure through controlled proportion, giving it a grounded yet visually fluid presence.
Lorentz by David Lopez Quincoces
The Lorentz sofa by David Lopez Quincoces reflects a more architectural and restrained design approach.
Defined by clean lines and precise geometry, it emphasizes proportion over expression. The system integrates quietly into architectural interiors, maintaining consistency across compact and expanded configurations.
Lorentz prioritizes clarity and control, making it suitable for spaces where seating is intended to support rather than dominate the environment.
Array by Snøhetta
The Array sofa by Snøhetta, designed for MDF Italia extends architectural thinking into modular seating.
Structured through layered volumes and fluid arrangement logic, Array functions as a micro-architecture within the interior. Modules can be composed into linear formations, islands, or complex spatial groupings, allowing seating to define zones within open layouts.
The system reflects Snøhetta’s broader approach to landscape-driven design and spatial organization.
Cosy by Francesco Rota
The Cosy sofa by Francesco Rota emphasizes softness, proportion, and understated comfort.
Built around relaxed volumes and a visually light structure, it adapts easily to both compact and expansive configurations. The Cosy system extends into Cosy Island and Cosy Curve, introducing freestanding and rounded compositions that expand its modular logic into more fluid arrangements.
Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the collection maintains a consistent language across environments while allowing materials and upholstery to define its character.
Customization and Configuration at GRAYE
Customization focuses on configuration, proportion, and material selection, allowing each system to respond precisely to project requirements. We offer a wide range of fabric options as well as COM (Customer’s Own Material), enabling alignment with broader interior material palettes.
All upholstery must comply with California Technical Bulletin 117-2013 (CAL 117), the standard governing flammability requirements for upholstered furniture under the federal Flammable Fabrics Act.
Within these parameters, each system can be configured for open-plan living, defined spatial zones, or more contained residential layouts.
A System-Based Approach to Living
Across contemporary modular seating, modularity is not a stylistic feature but a design methodology.
At GRAYE, modular sofas are understood as tools for composition rather than isolated objects. They enable interiors to be shaped through flexibility, proportion, and material continuity, allowing different design languages to coexist within a single spatial framework.
