or Call to Order

The Soriana Sofa designed by Tobia Scarpa for Cassina unites comfort with an infor­mal style as a two- or three-seater sofa. Defined by its curves, Soriana is wrapped with gener­ous uphol­stery fixed with a giant metal brace to form relaxed creases around its entire body. The piece’s aesthet­ics are further enriched by a quilted effect created with uphol­stered buttons on the seat and backrest cushions.

This rein­tro­duc­tion is part of a larger mission to recover and safe­guard the works of Tobia Scarpa. The Soriana series consists of a sofa in two sizes, a lounge chair, and a chaise lounge. For quick-ship options, please see the spec sheet to the left or call 800.886.0867 for details.
