We turn the spotlight on 2 new seating systems from Rolf Benz, fresh off the 2012 Milan Furniture Fair.
June 22nd, 2012

Scala
The modular furnishing range by Italian designer Gino Carollo unites the best of both worlds – German know-how and Italian flair, volume with grace, variety with style and design freedom with cultural appreciation.
Far from contradictory, the lounge character of the organically inspired upholstery and the filigree grace of the aluminium feet combine to give it its distinctive appearance. In addition, its generous depth makes it perfectly suited for large-proportioned interiors, while a neat 2-seater or a corner grouping fits well in modern urban spaces.
The seat frame, sofa body and back cushions can be covered independently in a variety of colours and textures.

Pronto
Inspired by the poignantly timeless beauty of the Eichendorf poem “Moonlit Night”, designer Cuno Frommherz has conceived an upholstered seating system that can be interpreted from different viewpoints – as an impressive high or low-backed design, or as a model of relaxation with its innovative gliding relax function.
Pronto features diverse combination possibilities – there are different armrest and foot designs, and an extensive fabric and leather selection to choose from.
Rolf Benz is available in Singapore at Monticello.
