Class by Ditre Italia traces its origins to a study, begun by Joe Colombo in Milan in 1963, which continues today, under the direction of architect Ignazio Favata, in the search for a product that is always functional, ergonomic and of unquestionable design.
The result is this bold, round, simple jewel that, thanks to its excellent seating comfort, is used in ordinary homes, but also performs well in the contract sector. The detail that makes Class an organic product and recognisable in its design is the floor feet covered in fabric or leather. But the design of the Class armchair by Ditre Italia also plays its part. With its single central foot, it makes the seat seem as if it were suspended in mid-air and lightens up the entire living area.
In the field of designer sofas, this solution represents an innovative breakthrough that will leave its mark on future designs. The body is padded and slightly rounded at the edges, which makes its profile soft. The structure joins the seat and backrest and is connected to the armrest, which thus becomes a natural and ergonomic support. The Class cushions are housed inside the shell and emerge slightly from the backrest and seat to give dynamism to the line of the profile.
