The Dress-Up! Sofa by Rodolfo Dordoni is a project char­ac­ter­ized by elegant details that recall the same crafts­man­ship in refined haute-couture dress­mak­ing. Partic­u­lar atten­tion has been given to the stitch­ing around the back/​armrest creat­ing a refined pleat both at the front and the back from which a zip runs down to the sofa’s base. Its appear­ance is enriched by a gros-grain profile around the uphol­stered seat cushion, which is avail­able in black, white, grey and caffe latte. Dress-Up! has a wide range of elements that can be combined in numer­ous compo­si­tions or even used singularly. 

Its geomet­ric form with asym­met­ri­cal elements, such as the inte­grated chaise-longue, makes it unique and versa­tile while the open angled back and armrests empha­size its cozi­ness. The combined poufs, in two sizes, feature the same gros-grain detail around the perime­ter of its top and a verti­cal zip down the side. To complete this family of prod­ucts for the living room, the sofa can be combined with a series of wooden based Dress-Up! as well as with extra cush­ions with the gros-grain border.

Italy

As a designer, Rodolfo Dordoni has created a career of collaboration, through designing furniture and objects for the home with a wide array of companies. Born in Milan in 1954, Dordoni graduated with a degree in architecture from Milan Polytechnic. He soon began designing for Artemide, working on their glass collection; eventually becoming their art director. Dordoni then transitioned to working for Cappellini from 1979 - 1989. He has since created lines for or work directly with Cassina, Minotti, Flos, Dornbracht, Fontana Arte, Moroso, Roda, and Venini. In 2005 he created his own architecture firm, Dordoni Archietti, which focuses on architectural planning, interior design, and exhibit design. His work is often considered to be simple and intuitive; much of his design process goes beyond the object itself and focuses on the marketing campaign that will feature the piece or line.
