Let it be
Made by Poltrona Frau
Named after the Beatles song and rooted in the spirit of the ancient Roman triclinium, the Let it Be sofa by Ludovica and Roberto Palomba is a study in compositional generosity. Deep seats and a modular architecture invite the body to settle, not merely sit.
The system accommodates chaise longues, poufs, integrated shelves, and storage elements, adapting across open-plan residences, hospitality suites, and media rooms without feeling prescriptive. Configuration is governed by the inhabitant, not the grid.
- Upholstery in Pelle Frau leather, fabric, or saddle-leather combinations
- Soft feather cushions that appear to float against the leather ground
- Modular architecture with genuine open-ended configuration
- Compatible elements include chaise longues, poufs, shelves, and storage
The Palomba partnership, active since the 1990s, has long pursued a design sensibility where domestic objects carry a sense of ritual. Here, that instinct produces a sofa equally suited to contemplative solitude as to unhurried conversation, a piece that asks nothing of its occupant but ease.

Frequently Asked Questions
What upholstery options are available for Let it Be?
The sofa can be specified in Pelle Frau leather, fabric, or saddle-leather combinations, with soft feather cushions that contrast the structured leather base. Poltrona Frau's Pelle Frau hides are tanned and selected to develop a distinctive patina over time.
How modular is the Let it Be sofa system?
The system is genuinely open-ended, accommodating chaise longues, poufs, integrated shelves, and storage units. Configuration is driven by the space and the inhabitant rather than a fixed catalogue arrangement.
Who are Ludovica and Roberto Palomba?
Ludovica and Roberto Palomba are a Milan-based design duo who have worked together since the 1990s across furniture, lighting, and interiors. Their practice is known for designs that carry a sense of domestic ritual and formal restraint.
What inspired the Let it Be sofa's design concept?
The design draws on two references: the Beatles song of the same name, evoking ease and acceptance, and the ancient Roman triclinium, the reclining dining arrangement that prioritized bodily comfort and social gathering over formality.
Is Let it Be suited to contract or hospitality projects?
Yes. The modular depth, generous proportions, and breadth of material specifications make it well suited to hospitality suites, private lounges, and high-end residential projects where configuration flexibility is a practical requirement.
