- Sculpted solid wood feet wrap around the sofa's corners in a distinctive paper-clip inspired form, giving Softbay an instantly recognisable detail
- Experience lasting support and hygiene with removable covers, elastic belt suspension, and Canaletta walnut end-feet that simplify cleaning
- Built to withstand daily use, its poplar plywood frame and polyurethane foam retain shape while feather-filled back cushions contour to your spine
The Porada Softbay Three Seater Sofa combines generous seating with deep, supportive cushioning and beautifully sculpted wooden feet. Removable fabric covers and a choice of upholstery and wood finishes make it as practical to live with as it is striking to look at.
Three Seats, Made for Settling In
The Softbay Three Seater Sofa by Porada brings a beautifully relaxed character to the living room without losing the sense of refinement expected from Italian design. Designed by Giuseppe Viganò, its generous 250cm width provides three individual seats, while the softly rounded silhouette and deep cushioning create an inviting place to spend long evenings, weekends and everything in between.
Softness With Substance
Comfort sits at the heart of Softbay. The three loose seat cushions are made from medium-density crush-proof polyurethane foam with an elastic foam support layer, creating a supportive yet yielding feel designed to retain its shape through everyday use. Three loose feather-filled back cushions add another layer of softness, allowing you to settle into the sofa naturally rather than feeling held in a rigid position.
Designed to Live Beautifully
The practical details are just as considered as the appearance. Removable fabric covers make the sofa easier to care for and refresh over time, while the choice of fabrics allows you to give Softbay a character that suits your interior. Beneath the upholstery, the solid wood feet are available in Canaletta walnut or ash in a selection of finishes, including the warm natural walnut you sell and the deeper Ash Wenge Stained finish. The sculpted feet curve around the corners of the sofa, creating a distinctive paper-clip inspired detail that gives the design its signature look.
A Sofa Around Which to Build the Room
The three-seater proportions make Softbay an easy centrepiece for a sophisticated living space, whether styled on its own or surrounded by carefully chosen pieces. Pair it with the sculptural Porada Atlante Sideboard to introduce beautifully crafted storage nearby, or bring in the organic presence of the Porada Giolo Mirror to add reflection and depth to the room. A Porada Four Seasons Mirror can also complement the sofa beautifully, creating a layered interior where soft upholstery, natural materials and sculptural forms work together. With its generous seating, considered construction and choice of finishes, the Porada Softbay Three Seater Sofa is made to become the piece everyone naturally gravitates towards.
