Santeramo in Colle, Bari, Italy
“Designed and made with utmost attention and energy of love, the collection is here to embrace you and protect you, to help you stop for a little, to become your true home. Beneath the waves there is always an ocean of peace,” explains Nika Zupanc.
The Wave sofa is designed by Nika Zupanc for Natuzzi Italia, the renowned handcrafted made in Italy design brand.
The designer has been inspired by the beauty of the Adriatic Sea which reaches all the way down from Slovenia to the very tip of Puglia, the region where Natuzzi was founded in 1959 and which is still an essential part of the company’s identity.
The fluid shapes of the water can be seen in the endless curves and circles which transform eclectically, flowing throughout every object in the collection.
The project was recently awarded a 2021 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
The result is a timelessly elegant set of products, which incorporates a retro edge reinterpreted in a contemporary and cosmopolitan tone. The collection breaks free of the past in terms of taste and refinement.
“Therefore, objects from the Deep collection are all balanced in their forms, timeless in the nature and meaning of the materials and endless in the possibilities for change and composition.”
The cocooning Wave sofa is among the main pieces in the collection, thanks to its shapes resembling the movement of the sea waves and the enveloping curves of the backrest and cushions creating an inviting, intimate space.
Available as a two-seater, a three-seater, and an armchair, Wave is refined and elegant, thanks to its raised base and the matte metal legs in light gold to increase its vintage charm; the same finishing is used for the metal profile running underneath the seating to highlight its shape.
The upholstery ensures maximum durability and comfort, both in the textile and leather-covered versions.
