Undecided Sofa is created, conceived by Raffaella Mangiarotti and Ilkka Suppanen for Manerba, for the perpetual redefinition of work spaces: the high upholstered backrest is an invitation to carve out a private corner where to meet without formalities; an acoustically comfortable and isolated place to talk vis-à-vis, leaning on the soft pillows.

Three steps to create the Undecided sofa:

  1. Choose the height: two pillow cases for the lower version, three at headrest height and four for the “meeting setup” that transforms the Undecided Sofa into a charming and comfortable mini-meeting room with high acoustic absorption.
  2. Choose colors: make your own “chromatic playlist” - monochrome, bicolor, for nuances or random - is the atout of this couch; and the plus is that the composition can be updated at any time, removing or replacing the pillows, even in a corner or a delimited area.
  3. Make a decision: sit back, breathe, think; deciding it has never been so simple, beautiful, and comfortable.

About Manerba

Established in Mantova in the late 1960s, Manerba is headed by two women - the sisters Grazia and Elisa Manerba - who have been softening the aesthetics of the office, intervening on colors and finishes; a feminine point of view that breathes and is reflected in the concept of more humane, warm, domestic work spaces. The architect Raffaella Mangiarotti - assisting them with timely and enlightened advice - is in charge of the art direction. Two times Manerba was awarded with the Good Design Award from the prestigious Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design, with the motivation: innovation, form, materials, functionality and usefulness.
