Dezeen Showroom: designer Jean-Marie Massaud aimed to create a sleek and contemporary seating system with Brera, a modular sofa for Italian brand Poliform.

Poliform describes the Brera system as creating a domestic landscape with a strong architectural quality and said Massaud began the design with an examination of the ideal characteristics of a sofa.

"A piece that ties together the living area by creating a place to share a time of pleasure," said Poliform. "And a sofa that complements the style of the home with a classic feel translated into modern design."

Brera can be ordered in an array of configurations, including classic linear shapes as well as curved forms that add interest to larger lounge areas.

Among the seating system's fine details are a slender, leather-covered base and armrests, which add a sartorial feel when seen alongside the fabric upholstery.

The armrest also functions as a shelf, and the upholstery can be ordered in a range of textured, neutral-coloured fabrics or muted leathers.
