SABAL collection

The collaborative venture between Matteo Nunziati and CORO continues. This year, the designer is offering us SABAL, a range of sofas with a neat and strikingly simple appearance. The idea grew from the desire to conceive a product not just as a separate item but in the context of its relationship with the surroundings and multiple functions of the Outdoor living area. SABAL is not just a sofa but a complete seating system where formal and informal seats alternate with small coffee tables. It has been conceived as the focal point for convivial gatherings but also as a corner for relaxation and rest. The wide range of configurations for the seats can satisfy every type of requirement for open spaces, from a private terrace to a large garden, from the public open area of a hotel to a spa or a lounge. The multiple variations in the modular combinations of the sofas are rendered even more extensive and complete thanks to the finishes for the coffee tables which can be requested in marble, glass or Corian® combined with the infinite variety of Coro fabrics for outdoor use, which are offered in matching textures and colours, and whose combinations accommodate the current demands to be able to give free rein to the modern-day passion for relaxation. As a result SABAL can be fashioned and interpreted in a thousand different ways. The importance of finding the right shape for various objects is evident in the way that the small details convey the carefully judged visual impact of the product. The relationship between an object and its surroundings has become increasingly important in determining the quality of what we “design” and “plan”; using a light touch ensures we obtain a creative mix of good taste and balance. We do not simply want to produce an item of furniture, we want to live with it. B
