CDC.2 Sofa
Design by Carlo de CarliThe CDC.2 Sofa by Carlo De Carli combines the restrained elegance of Italian postwar design with a distinctive sculptural form. Designed in 1954, its sleek silhouette is defined by dynamic, angular lines and gracefully sweeping armrests that extend outward like wings. Slender legs give the sofa visual lightness, while its carefully considered proportions bring together comfort and refinement. Introduced by GUBI in 2018 and available in two sizes, the CDC.2 Sofa complements the CDC.1 Lounge Chair, offering an inviting place for conversation and relaxation in contemporary interiors.
Italian elegance, expressive form
Carlo De Carli’s approach to design brought together the functional clarity of postwar Italian modernism with a more expressive design language. The CDC.2 Sofa reflects this balance, combining architectural precision with the softness of its upholstered contours. The sofa’s elevated upholstered form creates openness beneath the seat, revealing its slender supporting structure. The contrast between its generous seating proportions and slim legs gives the design a balanced, airy appearance.
