Zinta, designed by Lievore Altherr Molina, was selected for ADI Design Index 2015 edition, the prestigious publication edited by ADI Association for Industrial Design, which every year gathers the best of Italian design. Graphic, lightweight and fluid, Zinta is a modular sofa system defined by the harmonious juxtaposition of smooth lines and warm materials. Its deep seat perfectly supports the casual recline of the body. Its system of variable lengths and gentle angles allows it to weave through a space with subtle dexterity. It can serve as simple, single sofa or large-scale organizing principle in an open space. With a range of cushion options with diverse materials and fillings, it can serve a range of environments from residential to restaurant, lounge to office with equal ease.
