DESIGN BY DOSHI LEVIEN, 2021
Described by the designers as a ‘quilted landscape sofa system’, Quilton serves as a central platform for living, working, socializing and relaxing.
Offering a wide assortment of different modules, Doshi Levien’s multi-functional sofa provides the flexibility of a modular system with generous dimensions and sculpted forms. Its numerous upholstery choices include mono, duo, or with a black contrasting platform, with the finely-detailed quilted upholstery encapsulating the softness and volume of the foam and wadding seats and creating exceptional comfort. Quilton takes sofa design to a new level of versatility that makes it suitable for a wide range of domestic and public spaces.
