Ernest Sofa

Overview

Ernest Sofa by Jean-Marie Massaud for Poliform redefines comfort through radical simplicity and thoughtful modularity. This contemporary masterpiece draws inspiration from the effortless luxury of a down cushion, creating soft, deconstructed volumes that invite relaxation while maintaining sculptural presence. The modular system allows for endless configurations—from intimate linear arrangements to expansive L-shaped compositions—each maintaining the design’s distinctive expressive power and timeless elegance.

Introduced at Salone del Mobile 2024, Ernest represents the culmination of Massaud’s quest for synthesis and reduction, embodying the French designer’s philosophy of harmonious proportions built to stand the test of time. The sofa’s slightly concave seat cushions and generous dimensions create an irresistibly inviting silhouette that softens the geometric precision of contemporary living spaces.
