Claudio Salocchi's Free System represents an icon of Italian design from the 1970s and 1980s, a period when experimentation and new ways of living spaces were at the center of creativity. This innovative design revolutionizes the traditional idea of the living room, proposing a concept in which the living area can be defined simply by free-flowing seating. Inspired by Japanese tatami and the concept of the “operated floor”, the system consists of upholstered modules that can be freely combined, creating unique and customized configurations.
Today, the revolutionary potential of the Free System is more relevant than ever. Its versatility makes it perfect for any living environment, easily adapting to different lifestyles and home spaces. The distinguishing feature is the complete modularity of the elements, allowing optimal use of space and maximum freedom of expression in configuration.
The Free System is not simply a sofa, but a program of upholstered furniture that includes tatami, poufs and seats with interchangeable backs, the protagonists of a modular system that can be reconfigured an infinite number of times. The different combinations create solutions ranging from relaxation islands, perfect for a more dynamic and open environment, to linear and regular compositions, ideal for a more orderly setting. In addition, each module can be used individually, offering even more flexibility and adaptability.
