Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Standard sofa's cushion system work?

The Standard uses a proprietary cushion technology developed by Francesco Binfaré in which the backrests and armrests are filled with a material that responds to manual pressure, allowing them to tilt and reshape without any mechanical parts, levers, or hardware. The adjustment is entirely tactile and immediate.

Can the Standard be configured for large or irregular spaces?

Yes. The Standard is a modular system composed of individual units in varying shapes and seat depths, which can be arranged in linear, angular, or entirely free-form compositions. This makes it well-suited to both expansive open-plan spaces and architecturally complex rooms.

Who is Francesco Binfaré and what is his design philosophy?

Francesco Binfaré is an Italian designer and researcher who has collaborated with Edra for decades, focusing on the relationship between the human body and furniture. His work consistently prioritizes physiological rest and emotional comfort over formal convention, often incorporating material innovations that are invisible in the finished piece.

Where is the Edra Standard sofa manufactured?

The Standard is produced by Edra at their atelier in Tuscany, Italy, where each piece is made to order using traditional Italian upholstery craft alongside proprietary filling and cushion technologies.

What upholstery options are available for the Standard sofa?

Edra offers the Standard in a range of fabric and leather upholsteries. Because the piece is made to order, specific material selections, colorways, and configuration details are confirmed at the time of purchase through an authorized representative.
