La Michetta, Gaetano Pesce

In Milan, the michetta is the daily bread. It's the smell of the bakery down the street, the taste of being together, for no particular reason other than the desire to share a moment. It is the most recognizable shape - a sort of rose, with petals made of flour and yeast - yet never the same, irregular according to how the hands shaped it. What do these concept become, when taken up by Meritalia® and Gaetano Pesce, the most radical of the radicals? They start getting mixed, kneaded and finally churned out and into out-of-the-ordinary padded items, fragrant like fresh loaves of bread. A sofa designed to redefine everyday life: La Michetta by Meritalia® is a delight for the eyes, satiated on the irregular shapes of each module, the colours and materials available, foretasting the pleasure of sitting on it.

The capitonné rises randomly, at times plunging and at times levitating, in contrast with the regularity of each rectangular or cubic module with wooden structure. The buttons mark the hollows of the surface and punctuate it, outlining a three-dimensional and irregular pattern that invites to explore the comfort of the seat. Limitless, even in its uses. La Michetta is for sitting down, for relaxing. Indeed, the very meaning of sitting down and relaxing is reconsidered, depending on whether the module is horizontal or vertical, if used as seat or backrest or armrest, single or multiple. The modules can be continuously rearranged, allowing various configurations, reactivating and renewing the most diverse spaces. Whether placed in an intimate living room at home or selected to liven up a representative room, La Michetta assures to welcome and amaze.
