The Italian super-lounge sofa and the boxy Danish couch are both reference points for Middleweight, Michael Anastassiades’ first-ever piece of upholstered furniture. Launched by Karakter, it comes in armchair and two- and three-seater versions, as well as a pouffe. The seating is composed of a thin powder-coated steel frame topped with square cushions (upholstered in leather or fabric) that have carefully mitred corners resembling the sharp edges of folded paper.
