Frameless Cozy Modular Sofas

Amura Lab Designs the New Lapis Sofa with a Inviting Shape

— July 3, 2023 — Art & Design
Italian furniture imprint Amura Lab works in collaboration alongside Anton Cristell and Emanuel Gargano on the Lapis sofa. It is a modular furniture unit that is defined by its rounded details inspired by the smooth look of cobblestones. The sofa has a frameless design and the cushions on the seating are shaped like lozenges to appear that it has been weatherized into its structure by the elements.

It has a soft design language, which makes it inviting and perfect for lounging. The modular features allow the sofa to be altered in whichever way best suits the environment that it is in. It can be a traditional arrangement or more irregular with a pit-style. The padding is complete with memory foam to retain its shape.
