Rest A soft and warm place to rest

Take a moment to pause, where inspiration finds rest.

Sosta, which in Italian means "to pause" or "to rest," captures the essence of this padded seat: in an age of information overload, find a corner for a brief respite; in the frenzy of daily life, give your thoughts a sweet respite.

The multifunctional Sosta padded chair is designed for shared workplace spaces: cafes, break rooms, co-working spaces, and open-plan lounges. It invites people to stop, sit, relax, and let creative thinking emerge naturally in a soft, warm atmosphere.

🛋️ Design Philosophy: The Art of Pause

Why take a break?

In modern offices, we're accustomed to efficiency, speed, and constant productivity. But true creativity often isn't born in a race against time, but emerges silently during breaks, brief relaxations, and informal conversations.

Sosta's design philosophy is a rediscovery of the act of "lingering":

Pausing does not mean stopping, but giving the mind the chance to start again.

Pausing does not mean wasting time, but accumulating energy for the next inspiration.

Pausing does not mean solitude, but creating deep connections with others in a shared space.

Stop makes lingering a form of productivity.

Softness and warmth | A place to rest
In this age of information overload, Sosta offers a rare quality: softness and warmth.

Softness to the touch: carefully selected decorative materials gently envelop the body the moment you sit down.

Warm psychological comfort: the affinity of colors and the enveloping sensation of shapes create a safe and relaxing psychological space.

A corner for rest: whether it's a moment of solitude or a conversation with friends, Sosta becomes a place to linger.

It's not just a chair, but a space to rest.

📏 Three heights | Suitable for any sleeping position

Sosta offers three carefully selected heights to suit different usage scenarios and rest postures:

Height Options | Dimensions | Applicable Scenarios

Sofa height | 340 mm | Fits perfectly into sofa areas and lounge corners, allowing for complete relaxation.

Standard Height | 420mm | A universal seat height suitable for most sleeping situations.

Resting Height | 500 mm | The optimal resting height, suitable for temporary work or standing meetings (half sitting, half standing).

Three heights, one philosophy: whatever your rest needs, Sosta can accommodate you at the perfect height.

⭕ Two diameters | Versatile design

Sosta is available in two diameters to meet different needs, from individual to group use:

Model Diameter Functional positioning

Rest 450 φ450 mm Personalized, lightweight and flexible rest space

Rest 600 φ600 mm Shared seating for several people or as a temporary seat for group discussions

Leather Handles | Effortless Movement

Both diameters of Sosta are equipped with refined leather handles: more than a simple detail, they are a functional philosophy:

Quick movement: a light pull brings the Stop to the desired position.

Easy to carry: It lifts easily with one hand, allowing for flexible rearrangement of space.

A touch of beauty: the leather handles are a refined decorative element, which enhances the overall quality.

They're there when you need them; they can be removed when you don't.

🎨 Four sizes | Unlimited uses

Sosta offers four different sizes, making your stay an infinitely versatile experience:

How to use and applications

Work Mode: Sit here to complete your tasks. The 500mm reclining height, combined with a temporary desk, creates an efficient and focused temporary workstation.

Relaxation mode: Sit here to fully unwind. The sofa's 340mm height allows your body to sink into softness.

Coffee Table Mode: Use Sosta as a coffee table to keep items like books, coffee, and notebooks within easy reach.

Temporary work stool: When used with a table, Sosta can also function as a temporary work stool, adapting to dynamic work needs.

Multifunctional, adaptable: Sosta responds to the most complex work and lifestyle needs with the simplest form.

🧵 The beauty of details | Contrasting edges

Behind Sosta's minimalist form lies meticulously designed details.

The contrasting piping elegantly outlines the edge of the seat, defining the contours of the shape and adding a decorative touch. This discreet touch makes Sosta a standout element in any space: understated yet timeless.

Colour accents: a subtle contrast with the main fabric, which makes the silhouette more defined.

The craftsmanship is evident: every detail of the profile is meticulously sewn, demonstrating the commitment to quality.

An elegant unit: it blends perfectly with different interior design styles.

🎭 Kasane | A new color proposal
Sosta's color design introduces a completely new concept: Kasane (重ね).

What is Kasane?

Kasane draws its origins from the wisdom of "layering" in traditional Japanese aesthetics: the use of natural dyes and the creation of delicate yet intense color gradations through layering. The frenetic pace of modern life has gradually caused us to lose this delicate perception of color.

Sosta's Kasane color palette aims to recreate the color sensibility of its predecessors in modern spaces:

Natural dye: Colors extracted from plants and minerals, warm and delicate to the eye.

Overlapping Layers: The interplay of different layers of color creates a unique depth and appeal.

Timeless Texture: Each shade appears to have been perfected over time, subtle yet powerful.

It fits into any interior style

In addition to the Kasane collection, Sosta also offers a variety of classic decorative materials, from warm fabrics to fine leathers, from neutral to vibrant colors. Whether your space is modern, minimalist, industrial, Scandinavian, or Japanese Zen, Sosta offers a color palette to suit it.

🌿 The promise of Stop

In Italian, "fare una sosta" means "to stop and rest for a while." It's not about giving up, but about moving on.

Sosta believes that in an era of efficiency, we must relearn the art of "pausing." Not stagnation, but finding stillness in flow; not an escape, but a moment of peace amidst the noise.

When you sit on a Rest, whether you're completing a task or simply letting your mind wander, you're practicing this art: creating a sweet respite from the storm of information.

Stop, rest a bit. Stop is here for you.
