A true classic with an innovative design, the concept is meant to be provocative and challenging. “With its Brutalist structure, Overture highlights the system of beliefs that conceived it, as a protest against bourgeois conformism,” explained Pierluigi Cerri himself.

The Brutalist piece serves as a juxtaposition within itself. Its sharp industrial structure contrasts against its comforting cushions as an impressive display of metal and softness. It remains a pure traditional classic yet has been contemporized to represent the future. However, not much has been modified since its first introduction. The sofa’s cushions have been altered to minimize their voluminous appearance and maximize comfort and efficiency. The current edition also includes a richness of details such as buttons and the tapering and stitching along the cushions’ edges, making the sofa a piece of art from every angle.
Overture’s initial appearance is light and lean. The industrial inspired structure is supported by a T-shaped beam keeping the design simple yet stylish. The sofa comes with cushion upholstery options of either Pelle Frau® leather or fabric with metal parts of epoxy powder-coated in a sleek matt black with double “C” aluminum joints which are visible from certain angles, adding another unique design element.
