33 CUSCINI

But how many cushions does it take to make a sofa? 33, Paolo Rizzatto would answer! But be careful, these 33 cushions build the sofa, they don’t accessorize it. Metaphorically speaking, upholstery returns to its evolutionary origins, when it was nothing more than a series of cushions placed on the floor or on a bench. The designer “blocks” the cushions, making them “structural,” and thus invents a new form of macro-tufting where each individual module retains a precise identity.
