The absolute icon of absolute comfort
The Maralunga Maxi sofa by Vico Magistretti for Cassina, created in 1973, remains one of the most revolutionary sofas in design history. Vico Magistretti invented the hand-adjustable backrest: a simple gesture on the side chain tilts the backrest into high position (rest) or low position (reading/relaxation). Fifty years later, no other sofa offers such immediate posture freedom.
Deep midnight blue velvet and invisible structure
This Maxi 3-seater version measures 300 × 105 × H 72/98 cm (adjustable backrest height). The midnight blue velvet upholstery (category O-O030) provides exceptional tactile softness and timeless elegance. The structure completely disappears under generous polyurethane foam and wadding cushions. The discreet chromed steel feet slightly elevate the sofa for a floating sensation.
Personalised comfort at every moment
Each seat is independent: high backrest for watching television, low backrest for reading or reclining. The deep seat (105 cm) and enveloping armrests create a true cocoon. The dense, slightly shiny midnight blue velvet invites sinking in without restraint.
Strong presence and discreet elegance
In a bright living room or master suite, the Maralunga Maxi asserts its stature without overwhelming the space. The midnight blue dialogues with cream white, light oak or brushed brass. Viewed from the back, its clean line remains impeccable – ideal as a centrepiece. The Maralunga Maxi sofa by Vico Magistretti for Cassina crosses decades with the same aura.
Cassina’s timelessness since 1973
Awarded the Compasso d’Oro in 1979, the Maralunga continues to be produced by Cassina with the same artisanal care. Every seam, every fold is handcrafted in Italy. An investment in absolute comfort and a piece that will never go out of style.
