Groundpiece Sofa Composition
Made by Flexform
Designed by Antonio Citterio
The Groundpiece is one of Antonio Citterio's most considered statements in seating. Its silhouette sits deliberately close to the floor, stretching horizontally with a calm authority that reshapes how a room feels rather than simply how it looks.
Citterio's design philosophy has always balanced formal rigor with a deep understanding of how people actually inhabit space. Groundpiece reflects that sensibility: the proportions invite repose without sacrificing precision. Every module, every cushion depth, every material choice reads as intentional.
