The daybed Terminal 1 is the 2008 iconic piece. It is elegant, fluid, and harmonic, starting from a lucid plastic body, floating on a metallic frame, and varnished with the same colour but with a matt finishing. Its shape invites and supports its double function as an arm-chair and chaise longue. The covering and colours have been chosen based on a desire to create a monochromatic effect that highlight its formal elegance: four colours in leather for the chairs, identical to the ones used for the glossy and matt varnishing (white, anthracite, camomile and petrol)

In the fabric version, cover is available in a single colour or in two colours (on the inner and outer sides) with same type of fabric, while the leather version features fabric on the inner side.

This seating system has a distinctive, curved shape and a comfortable backrest. Its available in a lot of different configurations, for different sized areas, and can take up more or less space with a seating area of a larger or smaller width. Options without armrests are available, as well as models with one or two armrests. In this case the armrests are the natural continuation of the suspended backrest. Arne sofas were designed to be set next to the wall or be placed in the centre of a room. The seating areas have large seat cushions and are sustained by aluminium supports. Each model is cosy and welcoming. The semi-circular or corner versions of Arne provide face-to-face seating for people to gather around a point of attraction, which is the television or the home theatre set in todays houses.

The modular system is made up of an ottoman, the basic unit, which can be matched with other central, corner and end units with high or low armrests. These elements form traditional sofas, chaise longue sofas, corner sofas and island elements a 360° seating solution.

Seats system Design Patricia Urquiola (2007) In the beginning there was Fat-Fat, a multifunctional element that doubled as a table/container, from which first the Fat-Fat coffee tables and then the Fat-Fat bed developed. Now these same round, soft and sinuous shapes are repeated in a seating system which includes different typologies: from the linear sofa to the terminal elements, from the armchair with back in two heights, to the chaise longue and to the new ottomans. Fat-Sofa can be upholstered in fabric or leather and is available in a double-colour version or mixing leather and fabric, where the horizontal and vertical surfaces dialogue with each other through nuances of shade or in stronger contrasts.
