A radical rethink of what a sofa can be. Designed in 1972 for De Sede, this sofa trades the fixed frame for a chain of individual segments that link together like vertebrae. Nicknamed the “Snake,” it coils, curves, and stretches to any length, shaping itself to a room rather than the other way around. The result is part furniture, part installation—a piece that invites both play and precision in how it’s arranged.

Internal Frame with Flexible Connector
Sturdy structure joined by a hidden, flexible connector for modular reconfiguration.

High-Density Foam Padding
Supportive foam that maintains comfort and shape over long-term use.

Leather or Fabric Upholstery
Channel-stitched covers that emphasize the ribbed silhouette, combining tactile richness with durability.

The sofa embodies modularity taken to its extreme.

• Segmented construction allows endless length and form.
• Flexible joints create sweeping curves or straight runs.
• Ribbed channel upholstery gives each module sculptural depth.
• Works as a singular sofa or an expandable seating system.

• Vacuum regularly with a soft brush attachment.
• Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth.
• Condition leather periodically to maintain suppleness.
• Avoid direct sunlight to protect finish and color.
