Edra Cipria sofa
Created by Fernando and Humberto Campana for Edra, Cipria is a sofa composed of nine structural cushions that resemble giant powder puffs. Fixed to an invisible metal tube frame, they seem to gather together by chance, forming a seat that is playful in spirit and generous in comfort. Wrapped in ecological fur, the whole piece is soft to the touch like a caress, inviting contact the moment it enters a room.
Description
Design Inspiration & Philosophy
The starting point is one of the most familiar objects on a dressing table, the powder puff, multiplied nine times and scaled up until it becomes furniture. Rather than wrapping padding around a conventional sofa body, the Campana brothers let the cushions themselves become the structure. Their support stays out of sight, so the sofa reads as a cluster of rounded, tactile volumes. The result is an object that feels instinctive and approachable, as much an invitation to touch as a place to sit.
A Cluster of Cushions
Nine cushions shape the entire sofa, each one rounded like the puff that inspired it. Grouped as one, they form seat, back and sides in a single gesture, with no hard edges or exposed framework interrupting the silhouette. A hidden frame supports the composition from within, letting the cushions appear self supporting through softness alone.
Gellyfoam® and Ecological Fur
Comfort comes from stuffing in Gellyfoam® and Dacron synthetic wadding, which gives each cushion a full, generous body. The fur covering adds the final layer, plush under the hand and inviting to the eye, turning a simple act of sitting into a sensory experience. Edra describes the result simply as very comfortable, a quality that becomes obvious the moment someone sinks in.
