“Able to become the protagonist of the environment in which it is placed, Suspence is both classic and contemporary,” says Maurizio Manzoni, the lead designer of Studio MEMO.
Drawing inspiration from the endless flowing nature, Maurizio Manzoni of Studio MEMO’s Suspence Sofa, manufactured by ENNE Furniture combines nostalgic and modern materials, an abrupt framework, and dynamic compositions with superb craftsmanship.
Smoothed and glazed by natural forces such as wind and water, rock formations, sand, and earth expose curvilinear patterns that have scientifically proven calming effects on the human brain.
Suspence Sofa has recently been awarded a 2022 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
A perfect statement to the Zeitgeist, every individual item of the collection was made to last, to be an heirloom and an iconic piece of furniture.
A grabs attention with its symmetrical, bean-shaped seating, backrest, and double-armrests.
The crescent shape of the seating assures soothing, sincere communication in formal and informal gatherings. With different seating depths, it offers a variety of sitting positions.
The out-curved forearm details made of stone refine the sculptural stance of the design.
They come in locally produced rough travertine and polished marble with various colors and textures.
The sofa’s conoid legs come in two different metallic paints applied to wood.
Exclusively upholstered in bouclé as well as the other options of fabric and leather, the sofa is ready to serve different tastes and functions.
It has a dynamic character utterly fit for highly circulated areas, hotel lobbies, and art galleries, in addition to private living rooms.
With its voluptuous contours, asymmetrical backrest, and sinuous single-arm, the Suspence Sofa is a present-day paraphrase of the mid-century S-shaped seating units.
With different seating depths, the Suspence Sofa offers a variety of sitting positions.
