Califfo Sofa by Ettore Sottsass

The Califfo sofa, designed in 1962 by Ettore Sottsass for Poltronova, returns to
production in 2025 after a long absence. Califfo is one and threefold: its supporting
structure is a bench with a backrest and side sections made of wooden slats. It comes
with soft, upholstered cushions for the seat, backrests, and armrests; it can serve as a
living room sofa, a daybed for an unexpected guest, or a spot for an afternoon nap.
More than just a sofa, it is a versatile piece, free from the mechanisms typical of
commercial sofa beds, and it shows how Sottsass’s design effortlessly merges
aesthetics and function with simplicity and elegance.
