Antonio Citterio's sofa by Flexform that seems to float on a single bar. Photographed afresh this year, and on our floor now in a pairing we have not shown before.
Austere below, generous above
Camelot is a study in contrast. Below, the structure is austere: slim metal supports and one cylindrical bar, in wood or wrapped in cowhide, carry the seat so it appears to hover just above the floor. Above, it is the opposite. Deep, goose-down backrests, and seat and back finished with piping, tone on tone or in a contrasting colour, an invitation to sit back. That bar is the detail that makes a Camelot recognisable from across a room, and the reason it works as well in a large open space as it does against a wall.
It is a system rather than a single sofa. Elements of different widths and depths combine into anything from a two-seater to a room-sized island, and almost everything can be chosen: the fabric or leather, the metal finish, the bar in one of several timbers or in cowhide. Ours is upholstered in fabric with the bar in cowhide, which is the combination we would suggest if you have not seen it before.
The 2026 campaign
The new photographs are by Robert Rieger, and the idea behind them was that an image can do more than show a piece of furniture; it can build a world around it. Rieger sets two Camelots face to face at the centre of a living room, in soft light and a palette of earth tones, and lets the pair carry the whole scene. It is much how the sofa sits in our new space, and a good guide to how to live with it: with room around it, and with the frame in view.
