First conceived in 1974 by Tobia and Afra Scarpa, the Elogio Sofa occupies a specific place in postwar Italian design: it is neither rigidly formal nor casually loose, but holds bo th impulses in careful tension. The name itself, meaning "praise" in Italian, speaks to a celebration of craft and proportion rather than spectacle. Revisited by Tobia Scarpa in collaboration with GUBI, the sofa retains the original's architectural confidence while gaining a contemporary range of configurations. Cushions can be reoriented, modules recombined, and upholstery selections layered to shift the character of the piece from composed to enveloping. Modular construction with multiple seating configurations Reorientable cushions for adaptable comfort and silhouette Wide upholstery selection spanning fabric and leather Made to order production The Scarpas brought to their work a background in both architecture and fine craft, and the Elogio reflects that sensibility, where every seam, every cushion edge, and every proportion is a considered decision rather than a default.
