Designed in 1968 by Roberto Pamio, Renato Toso, and Noti Massari for Stilwood, the Lara sofa is a landmark of Italian modernist design. Created during a period when new foam technologies were transforming upholstered furniture, the design broke away from conventional sofa forms in favour of a sculptural, modular composition that blurred the boundaries between furniture and architecture.
Composed of two interlocking elements, the Lara's distinctive geometric silhouette combines sweeping curves with crisp linear edges, allowing it to be appreciated from every angle. Its low profile and organic form reflect the experimental spirit of late-1960s Italian design, where comfort, flexibility, and expressive form became central to the evolving concept of domestic living.
Today, the Lara sofa remains one of Stilwood's most celebrated designs, admired for its innovative construction, timeless sculptural presence, and enduring influence on contemporary modular seating.
