Dao Soft Modular Sofa by Frigerio

Designed by Gordon Guillaumier

Dao Soft by Frigerio, a modular sofa that allows extreme compositional freedom in a geometric harmony of soft volumes that, in their visual simplicity, immediately invite you to experience calm and relaxation, tuning into the rhythm of your breathing.

Dao Soft is characterised by high backrests and seat elements padded with different densities of polyurethane and Cloud Foam, covered with Microflock quilting to offer full comfort and flexibility, giving life to configurations that range from the most classic and traditional to the most contemporary.

Central, corner and terminal elements, hammer armrests and modules with the most unusual shapes, such as chaise lounge and dormeuse, allow full customisation of the spaces.

Each module rests on a base, making its soft silhouette even lighter, apparently suspended. A proposal that expresses its sartorial soul in the precious “pinch” stitching that defines the aesthetics of the fabric or leather covering.

Plywood padded with non-deformable polyurethane foam and cloud foam

Microflock quilting (regenerated polyester)

Choose from a wide range of Frigerio fabrics (loose cover) or leather (fixed cover)

Frigerio

Frigerio’s story is a true Italian journey, defined by passion, tenacity, and dedication to excellence.

Founded in 1938 by Federico Frigerio in Mariano Comense, Brianza, the brand has become synonymous with refined craftsmanship and elegant design for over 85 years. What began as a family-run artisan business, specialising in the fusion of modern and classic styles, evolved in the 1960s when Federico’s sons, Gianfranco and Angelo, expanded the brand into an industrial powerhouse.

Frigerio seamlessly blends exceptional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to create truly unique pieces. Whilst equipped with the latest machinery capable of cutting multiple fabric layers and automating leather cuts, Frigerio consciously opts for a manual approach, carefully cutting each layer one at a time to ensure perfect alignment of patterns and motifs. The brand’s skilled artisans, using only the finest raw materials—such as premium leathers, fabrics, wood, metal, and padding are able personalise each creation, embodying the dedication to quality and precision that defines the Frigerio collection.

Frigerio’s collection, once centered on sofas and seating, has evolved into an offering that spans the entire home, designed to elevate both living and bedroom spaces. Renowned for its decorative elegance and exceptional craftsmanship, each piece is meticulously crafted from the finest materials offering unparalleled customisation to fulfill the most discerning aesthetic preferences, whether for private residences or bespoke contract projects.

Today, the Frigerio family’s passion for quality, alongside their deep-rooted connection to the region, continues to fuel the brand’s legacy of timeless elegance and innovative design.
