Elogio Sofa

Design by Tobia Scarpa

Expressing an inviting softness with architectural structure, the Elogio Sofa is one of the iconic furniture designs to emerge from the husband-and-wife studio of Tobia and Afra Scarpa. Created in 1974 as an evolution of the Erasmo sofa, it introduced a new modular approach to domestic living, allowing for multiple configurations depending on the shape, scale, and style of the space. Revisited by Tobia Scarpa with GUBI five decades later, this edition has been subtly upgraded to enhance comfort and finesse the geometry of the design. Its interchangeable cushions can be reoriented to suit different needs and upholstery options, including GUBI’s new Reales and Fustagno fabrics, enhance the sofa’s tactile and visual character.

Tobia Scarpa

Born in Venice in 1935, Tobia Scarpa is one of the most influential figures in postmodern Italian architecture and design. He is known for his focus on material exploration, a curiosity-driven experimental process, and the rigor and imagination he brings to every project - from bookcases to buildings.
