Fendi Casa introduces the F-Stripes sofa, a masterpiece of design crafted by the renowned duo Ludovica Serafini + Roberto Palomba. Inspired by the world of fashion, the F-Stripes sofa features intricate details that evoke the sophistication of a tailored suit.
“Elegant, welcoming, and rich in details, F-Stripes is the new sofa we have designed for FENDI Casa. A longstanding collaboration that we enthusiastically renew this year.” Ludovica Serafini + Roberto Palomba.
That’s how architects Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba describe F-Stripes, the absolute novelty signed by the studio for Fendi Casa, a high-design sofa, linear yet extremely comfortable.
In the context of a collaboration already established in the past with the maison, Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba return to interface with the world of fashion, designing a sofa whose quality is appreciated in the details, much like a tailored suit: the tonal stitching of the wide leather bands embracing the backrest, the linear yet welcoming cushioning, the tapered feet towards the bottom, the metallic terminals of the structural elements, embellished with the FF logo.
“We have maintained and transferred into the F-Stripes collection all the elements and values that fascinate us most about the Fendi world, reinterpreting in a ‘Furniture’ key those elements that we believe characterize and evoke the emotion of the brand. For this collection, we wanted a cozy, comfortable, informal sofa, simultaneously capable of expressing the idea of ‘quiet luxury’ that characterizes the Roman brand. We sought a detail that would distinguish the backrest, evoking lightness and versatility in its use. The choice fell on soft bands of structured leather supporting an informal cushioning, bands fixed to an aluminum structure with a bronzed finish, giving the entire project extreme lightness and contemporaneity.” Ludovica Serafini + Roberto Palomba.
Indeed, it is the leather band that is the distinctive element of the product: a minimal, sophisticated, and essential detail that, thanks to the high-quality material and the play of lines and wraps it creates with the cushions, makes F-Stripes a furnishing element of great elegance and character. To convey even more the concept of a timeless piece, F-Stripes is proposed in a range of natural, neutral colors.
“The main inspiration for this collection is precisely contemporaneity. We introduced the idea of lightness, deconstruction, and multi-materiality into a wide, comfortable, and extremely welcoming seat. Comfort and modernity are our best tribute to Fendi’s aesthetics.”
