Elogio Ottoman
Design by Tobia ScarpaDeveloped as a natural extension of Afra and Tobia Scarpa’s Elogio modular sofa system from 1974, the Elgio Ottoman expands the collection’s architectural flexibility and spatial versatility. Defined by the same grounded geometry, inviting softness, and modular clarity as the sofa, the ottoman introduces more fluid ways to shape and connect space. Whether positioned independently, integrated into the seating landscape, or used to link larger configurations, it enables Elogio to move beyond linear arrangements while remaining faithful to the collection’s calm architectural character.
MODULAR LIVING
With the Elogio Ottoman, the Elogio modular sofa system evolves beyond linear modularity, opening new possibilities for spatial flow, flexibility, and interaction. While grounded in Elogio’s architectural geometry, inviting softness, and rhythmic modularity, the ottoman transforms how the system shapes and articulates space – enabling Elogio to shift direction, create transitions, and support more fluid ways of living and gathering.
TOBIA SCARPA
Born in Venice in 1935, Tobia Scarpa is one of the most influential figures in postmodern Italian architecture and design. He could be called a one-of-a-kind, were it not for the fact that he spent 50 years of his career working in equal partnership with his wife Afra Scarpa, with whom he shared a remarkable personal and professional bond. When Tobia & Afra designed Elogio in 1974, the sofa introduced a new perspective on modular living through its balance of architectural precision, generous comfort, and compositional freedom.
