A quietly iconic system from the late 1990s, the Met sofa by Piero Lissoni distils the essence of Italian minimalism into a refined, architectural form. This L-shaped configuration—now discontinued—offers a generous and highly liveable layout, pairing structured seating with a relaxed chaise-like extension.
Characterised by its clean horizontal lines and elevated stance, the Met appears to float within the room. A slim aluminium base supports a rigorously engineered steel frame, while deep, feather-wrapped cushions introduce a softness that contrasts its disciplined geometry. The result is a sofa that feels both composed and inviting—equally suited to formal living spaces and everyday use.
The L-shape enhances the system’s modular DNA, creating a natural corner composition that encourages lounging without compromising visual clarity. True to Lissoni’s approach, every element is resolved with precision—from the low, linear armrests to the subtle shadow line beneath the frame.
Originally part of Cassina’s progressive modular collection, the Met is no longer in production, making surviving examples increasingly sought after. It stands as a hallmark of late-20th-century Italian design—understated, intelligent, and enduring.
This particular example has been reupholstered in a luxurious heavy commercial velvet weave in blush peach. It presents in excellent vintage condition.
