Mochi Sofa
Made by Exteta
Designed by Studiopepe
The Mochi Sofa is a collaboration between Exteta and Milan-based Studiopepe, a studio known for its ability to move between fashion, interiors, and product design with a singular, atmospheric sensibility. Named after the Japanese rice cake, the form draws from that confection's soft, rounded geometry, translating it into generously padded volumes that read as sculpture before they read as seating.
Exteta has long positioned itself at the intersection of craft and outdoor living, producing pieces built to inhabit terraces, gardens, and yacht decks with the same presence as fine interior furnishings. The Mochi's leather backrest introduces a material contrast that grounds the softness of the upholstered body, giving the silhouette both warmth and precision.
