Two armchairs, a sofa, a sheltered and covered bed, but also a proto-living room or a hidden den. Emanuele Magini’s (2011) Sosia is an object for different relaxing moments, comfortable and dynamic, fitted for everyday’s life. All you can desire from a seat can be wrapped in one piece, where design plays a continuous metamorphosis game that separates, doubles up and puts together shapes and functions.
