With Tiptoe, we prove that something as simple as a leg can entirely change the character of a piece.
Tiptoe was conceived as a sofa with rational lines and a restrained presence. Its most recognisable feature is its ultra-slim legs (just 1.6 cm in diameter), which lift the volume with discretion and elegance, like walking on tiptoe. Hence its name. Available in graphite or copper, they are both a structural and an aesthetic resource.
Tiptoe features now a second leg option, with a diameter increased to 8 cm and a broader range of finishes: chrome or extra matt lacquer in all the colours of our palette. Where there was once subtlety, there is now strength.
This new leg lives alongside the original, offering two ways of interpreting the same design. The slender version continues to speak of lightness and restraint. The new one, by contrast, introduces a more graphic and architectural counterpoint. In both cases, a structural element becomes an expressive one.
The change is not only formal. By increasing its visual weight and offering a wide chromatic range, the leg becomes another tool for personalisation. It can blend in to create an almost monolithic effect, or stand out if the aim is to introduce a colour contrast.
At this point, leg finishes enter into dialogue with the upholstery, as their colour supports and reinforces the textile choice. In copper, paired with blue velvet, the result is a sophisticated and elegant reading. A quilted fabric combined with a lacquered leg in a bright shade such as Lime, on the other hand, opens the door to more eclectic and expressive options. These are just a few examples.
Tiptoe is a modular system that adapts to different spaces: a rational design based on precise volumes, yet one that gains a domestic dimension through the way the fabric folds over itself to shape the volumes and corners of cushions and arms.
