Mussi Modena design sofa

Modena is born where memory meets modernity. It draws from the iconic 1986 “il Componibile” and reimagines it with a new softness, tailored details, and a silhouette that honors tradition while looking forward. A shape that welcomes, a volume that reveals itself, a design that speaks Mussi’s timeless language.

Mussi Modena design sofa

Technical features

Structure

Solid wood and plywood structure with springing in crossed elastic belts with a high rubber content. High resilience polyurethane foam padding composed of different layers with different densities. High-weight thermo-bonded fiber coating coupled with cotton cloth.

Upholstery

The upholstery is available in all the fabrics and leathers of the Mussi collection.

Cushions

Seat cushion padding in Assopiuma-certified Ivory label goose down (90% goose down, 10% duck feather), channelled inside a breathable cotton casing certified by Assopiuma. Cushion support in high-resilience polyurethane foam with differentiated densities, shaped to ensure correct positioning of the back cushions. Back cushion padding in Assopiuma-certified Gold label channelled goose down (over 90% goose down), with a shaped polyurethane insert in differentiated densities to provide optimal lumbar support. Breathable cotton containment casing certified by Assopiuma. On request: cushions in high-resilience polyurethane foam covered in thermobonded fibre.

Removability

The upholstery of the structure and cushions is completely removable by opening the hinges and by detaching the Velcro anchor. The lining is removable in both fabric and leather versions.

Bases

Feet in turned solid wood dyed matt black.

Sitting comfort

The seat depth and the backrest height, enhanced by its hidden shaping, combined with the softness of the feather padding make it a sofa with surprising ergonomics.

Maintenance

Squeezing is necessary for the correct maintenance of the feather cushions: slam the cushions vigorously in order to rearrange the feathers inside.

Warnings

When washing the fabric cover, follow the indications on the product sheet and cover the Velcro parts that could damage the fabric during washing. The soft padding will give the cover a natural softer and more aged appearance over the time.

A story that continues...

Modena originates from a contemporary reinterpretation of il Componibile, a historic Mussi project dating back to 1986.
The system preserves the memory of the original language while updating it through more current proportions, welcoming volumes and a renewed focus on comfort.

il Componibile (1986)

Contemporary modularity.

The project is based on a flexible modular structure, allowing linear or corner compositions conceived to adapt naturally to residential interiors and advanced contract environments. Soft, continuous forms define a balanced seating system that offers support and ergonomic comfort without sacrificing elegance.

Modena (2020)

A detail that defines the design.

Its “pozzetto” structure, with armrests and backrest at the same height, frames the cushions with effortless elegance.
A 45° tailored seam unifies the volumes into one continuous gesture, while soft curves add instant comfort and refined character.

Soft elegance.

The soft curves of the backrest and armrests bring comfort, presence, and a visual gentleness that elevates any space.

Pure forms, natural comfort.

Soft volumes and balanced proportions define the armchairs and sofa as discreet, modern, and welcoming presences, created to bring harmony to any space.

Entirely made in Italy, Modena expresses Mussi’s artisanal approach applied to a modular system: construction precision, sartorial attention to detail and carefully selected materials designed to ensure comfort, reliability and long-lasting performance. A project conceived to accompany everyday use while preserving its identity over time.

Modena represents the meeting point between memory and contemporaneity, interpreting Mussi design through an essential, solid and timeless form.
