Sculptural Elegance Meets Functional Comfort

Essential is not merely a sofa—it is an architectural statement for the refined home. Though contained in its footprint, this grand décor piece commands attention with an aura of understated luxury. Sober yet inviting, it merges elegance with warmth, making it a seamless fit for interiors that prize both aesthetics and comfort. With its plush, cozy presence, Essential doesn’t just complement a room—it defines it.

A Symphony of Adaptability

At the heart of Essential lies its unique modular composition, offering the freedom to reconfigure it into countless arrangements. From a linear two-seater to an expansive four-seater with angular transitions, its sections come together in geometric harmony. Whether you envision semicircular lounge areas or elongated chaise longue pairings, Essential adapts with grace—allowing your space to evolve alongside your lifestyle.

The Intelligence of Smart Cushioning

What truly elevates Essential is its Smart Cushion system designed to mold and flex intuitively to your needs. This innovation transforms every sitting experience, shaping itself effortlessly whether you’re entertaining guests, relaxing with a book, or reclining in solitude. This flexibility brings an element of living design into your home—one that responds to your posture, your purpose, and your personal rhythm.

EDRA

Founded in Tuscany in 1987 by Valerio and Monica Mazzei, Edra is a pioneer in redefining the boundaries between art, design, and comfort. Alongside its first artistic director, Massimo Morozzi, the brand set out to craft what they termed superlative furniture—pieces that combine advanced technology with the soul of handmade artistry. Renowned globally for its commitment to craftsmanship and technological ingenuity, Edra creates designs that transcend trends and endure through time. Each piece is a careful balance of beauty and function—meticulously engineered and emotionally resonant.

Rather than following fleeting fashion, Edra’s creations are timeless expressions of bold elegance. With collections like Essential, the brand continues its legacy of transforming living spaces into modern-day galleries of tactile luxury and innovation.

Essential is the brainchild of Francesco Binfaré, one of Italy’s most visionary and emotionally intelligent designers. With decades of collaboration with Edra, Binfaré has authored some of the most groundbreaking designs in contemporary furniture. His approach is deeply intuitive—he does not design simply for the body, but for the full spectrum of human experience. Known for pushing the limits of what furniture can express, Binfaré blends avant-garde thinking with an emotional sensibility that makes his pieces deeply relatable. His work is a dialogue between form and feeling, and Essential is a perfect embodiment of that philosophy: furniture that not only supports life, but participates in it.

Inspired by the idea of creating a large yet intimate seating experience, Essential is Binfaré’s ode to quiet sophistication and adaptability. Drawing from the purity of geometric forms and the evolving rhythms of modern life, he imagined a sofa that could shift and shape itself without ever losing its poised elegance. Designed not as a static object, but as a fluid participant in daily life, Essential is more than a seating system; it is a living sculpture. It embodies Edra’s philosophy that great furniture should not only look extraordinary but feel intuitive and alive—an experience shaped by the moment, and by the people who live with it.

Founded in Tuscany, Edra is revered for seamlessly blending advanced technology with artistic sensitivity. Every piece is designed to offer not only exceptional comfort but also a sculptural presence that elevates interiors into curated environments. The following style guide will give you direction on how to present an Essential sofa in a manner that reflects its refined essence and quiet grandeur.

Ideal Placement

  • Open-Plan Living Rooms- Perfectly suited for open-plan layouts, Essential subtly delineates space without disrupting the natural visual flow.
  • Minimalist Penthouses- Its clean lines and modular rhythm serve as a grounding architectural anchor amid the refined openness of a minimalist penthouse.
  • High-Ceiling Lofts- Floating the piece away from the walls in a loft with soaring ceilings allows its sculptural form to breathe and take center stage from every angle.
  • Culturally Curated Residences- Essential finds a natural home in curated interiors that celebrate both functional design and artistic expression.
Essential

Styling Tips

  • Neutral Tonal Palette- Use a palette of creams, charcoals, and taupes to amplify Essential’s sculptural elegance without distraction.
  • Organic Accent Pieces- Pair its geometric form with organic-shaped accents such as freeform coffee tables or artisan-crafted glass sculptures for a dynamic contrast.
  • Layered Textures- Add softness with mohair throws or brushed alpaca cushions that introduce tactile richness to its clean profile.
  • Subtle Lighting- Employ discreet architectural lighting—such as floor or track lighting—to cast intentional shadows that highlight its dimensional form.
  • Grounding Rug- Place a textured area rug beneath to frame the composition and direct focus to Essential’s commanding silhouette, while maintaining spatial harmony.

From Our Designers

A Curated Styling Tip for Special Effect

Our designers recommend pairing Essential with a sculptural companion to enrich its visual language. Consider positioning To Home by Byun DaeYoung behind one of the chaise modules. This emotionally resonant piece echoes the sofa’s poetic modularity, creating a scene of quiet power and balance. Together, they form an atmosphere where design moves gently—inviting serenity, intention, and elevated living.

Essential is more than a modular sofa—it is a sculptural composition designed to elevate contemporary living. With its understated grandeur and intuitive Smart Cushion technology, Essential offers a rare balance between minimalist design and deeply personal comfort. It adapts not only to spaces but also to moods, postures, and daily rituals.

The Essential’s modular structure allows for exceptional flexibility. From compact two-seater arrangements to expansive four-seaters or curved setups that create semicircles and chaise longues, the sofa evolves effortlessly with the needs of its environment. This makes it ideal for both intimate settings and grand salons.

Essential thrives in environments that appreciate quiet sophistication and curated design. Think high-ceilinged city lofts, gallery-inspired residences, boutique studios, or thoughtfully layered lounges. Its architectural silhouette and geometric clarity suit minimalist, contemporary, and art-forward aesthetics.

The Smart Cushion system is an advanced ergonomic feature that allows each cushion to intuitively adjust to your body’s needs. Whether reclining for relaxation or sitting upright for conversation, the cushions respond with fluid support—making each experience tailored and effortless.

Allow the piece to float away from walls to highlight its sculptural quality. Leave generous space around it so the geometry and rhythm of its modular forms can breathe. Position it as a central statement in an open-plan living room or use it to create soft boundaries within large multifunctional spaces.

To preserve its refined form and comfort, gently vacuum the upholstery with a soft brush attachment on a weekly basis. Fluff cushions regularly to maintain volume and alignment. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and consider professional upholstery cleaning periodically to maintain the longevity of both material and structure.
