This expansive seating landscape of soft shapes was regarded at the time as a vision of the world of tomorrow. The principle of the Cloverleaf Sofa is based on a modular system that can be adapted to the size and function of a room. Individual modules can be joined to create a variety of shapes, such as a circle, curve or horseshoe. The organically shaped modules create a series of niches The Cloverleaf Sofa is manufactured by Vitra in cooperation with Verpan. With the Cloverleaf Sofa, Panton created a comfortable seating area that offers ample room for communication.

The Cloverleaf Sofa is composed of modular units. The two end units can be directly connected to one another.
