Free System Sofa
In 1973, Claudio Salocchi designed Free System: a system of padded furniture deriving from the concept of “operated flooring”, or tatami, where the padded units could be placed freely side by side. With its completely modular and sectional elements and from the perspective of an optimal use of space, we can view Free System sofa as the embodiment of the modern house utopia. A programme of padded furniture that goes beyond the sofa model, Free System presents a series of elements (tatami, hassock and seat with different and interchangeable backrests) that make up a modular system that can be arranged in a variety of combinations.

Claudio Salocchi
Born in Milan in 1934, Claudio Salocchi was an architect and designer at the heart of the creative ferment of the 1960s and 1970s, with projects that anticipated new forms, technologies and typologies. For more than fifty years he worked across industrial design, architecture and interiors, and he was vice president of ADI, the Association for Industrial Design.
In 1979 he won the Compasso d’Oro for Metrosistema, a kitchen system. For Acerbis he designed the Palla armchair, the Free System sofa and the Napoleone coffee tables.
