The Papilio soft seating collection continues to accentuate the balance and fluidity of form for which Naoto Fukasawa is renowned, with its latest addition of the Love Papilio.

The Love Papilio two seater sofa, with its compact footprint, offers new and unique seating arrangements for use in all commercial, public and domestic environments.

With solid structures and purposefully positioned curves, the sofa succeeds in offering maximum comfort, relaxation and strength while retaining its organic and statuesque aesthetic.
