CHOOSE YOUR COMFORT Suita Sofa can take on either a formal or casual attitude depending on the cushions. The Classic cushions exude a serious, elegant air. Pointed cushions – also available in Alexander Girard motifs – lend a relaxed, cozy feel. The Suita Sofa is available in several padding and cushion options that feature different combinations of foam and feathers.

System OVERVIEW CHOOSE YOUR SETUP The basic elements of the Suita Sofa system can be used as single elements, or they can be mixed and matched to suit all kinds of living spaces and furnishings needs.

TRAY & HEAD SECTION 03 FRAMES, TRAY & HEAD SECTION Mounted on the back edge of the sofa in freestanding configurations, the tray (combined with a chair and a laptop) makes a perfect, casual workplace. If placed against a wall, the tray creates an additional shelf or decoration space. Some elements can be fitted with a head section that offers both support and serves as a barrier from noise and visual stimuli. Suita features elegant frames made of polished, black-coated or white-coated aluminium. Each version gives a different look. Frames Tray Base Tray Inlay (Linoleum)

Textiles & Objects Shop Girard is one of the most influential figures in 20th-century American design.
