Originally conceived in 1974 by Tobia Scarpa and his wife Afra, the Elogio Sofa returns as a refined celebration of Italian modular living. Architectural yet deeply inviting, its grounded silhouette balances sculptural geometry with the softness and warmth that defined the era, reimagined by GUBI to meet contemporary standards of comfort and craftsmanship.
Designed to evolve with the way you live, Elogio’s modular elements and reconfigurable cushions allow for endlessly adaptable arrangements, from intimate corners to expansive open-plan settings. This three-seater version is made to order in a curated range of refined fabrics, velvety cottons and indulgent bouclés. Defined by bold lines and characterful in style, the Elogio 3 Seater Modular Sofa balances luxurious softness with a structured presence - a quietly expressive centrepiece designed to be lived with, reconfigured and appreciated for years to come.
The son of architect Carlo Scarpa, Tobia Scarpa was born and has spent his career in Italy. He collaborated with his wife, Afra, on designs for nearly every major international company, including Flos, Cassina, Knoll and B&B. Together they developed a vocabulary for accessible luxury design based on expanding technology and a wide variety of materials.
Scarpa was commissioned, along with Pier Castiglioni, to design the first models for the lighting company Flos started by Dino Gavina. The Scarpas also worked in commercial architecture and interior design, especially later in their career. Some of their best-known work was for the Benetton clothing company.
