Cipria Sofa
Made by Edra
The Cipria is a study in softness as structure. Fernando and Humberto Campana conceived it as a cluster of nine generous, powder-puff-like cushions, each resting on a slender metal tube frame that seems to disappear beneath the volume of the piece. The visual effect is one of weightlessness, a sofa that appears to float.
Beneath the tactile surface, the cushions are filled with Gellyfoam and synthetic wadding, a combination that produces an unusually enveloping sit, responsive without sacrificing support. The eco-fur upholstery adds a layer of sensory richness, softening the silhouette while grounding the piece in a clear material identity.
The Campana Brothers have long drawn from Brazilian popular culture and craft traditions, translating vernacular materials and forms into objects of genuine cultural weight. The Cipria carries that sensibility, finding architecture in softness and sculpture in repose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Edra Cipria Sofa?
The Cipria was designed by Fernando and Humberto Campana, the Brazilian brothers whose work consistently reinterprets everyday objects and cultural references into significant furniture pieces. Their long-standing collaboration with Edra has produced some of the most recognizable icons in contemporary design.
What is Gellyfoam and how does it affect the sit?
Gellyfoam is a proprietary foam material used by Edra known for its high resilience and conforming quality. In the Cipria, it works alongside synthetic wadding to create a seat that is deeply enveloping yet maintains its form over time, avoiding the collapse common in purely soft-fill cushions.
Is the Cipria Sofa available in different upholstery options?
The Cipria is offered in eco-fur upholstery, which is central to the design's character and tactile identity. Configuration and material options are typically confirmed through a design consultation, as the piece is made to order.
What is the construction of the Cipria's frame?
The sofa sits on a metal tube frame that is intentionally minimal in profile, designed to be visually recessive so that the cushion volumes read as the primary form. This structural restraint is a deliberate design choice, not an incidental detail.
How do the Campana Brothers' Brazilian roots influence this design?
The Campanas have consistently drawn from Brazilian material culture, street craft, and domestic objects throughout their career. The Cipria takes its name and visual cue from a powder puff, a familiar, intimate object, scaling it up and recontextualizing it as furniture in a gesture that is both playful and formally considered.
