Product description

Together with Ulisse, Konstantin Grcic developed his idea for the sofa, combining the symbolism of a simple sofa with the materiality of an elegant and perfectly crafted piece of furniture in the tradition of modernism. The adjustment mechanism of the couch and the cross-section of the legs are inspired by the classic designs of Charlotte Perriand and Eileen Gray, their modernity and precision and fit perfectly into the ClassiCon collection.
Ulisse is a sofa that becomes a symbol of relaxation and comfort, and thanks to its large, freely stretched surface for lying down looks almost like a couch pictogram. The couch, in its simple, symbolic elegance, evokes associations with archaic furniture of African or Japanese origin, which was a source of inspiration for many modernist designers. Ulisse is therefore more than just a functional piece of furniture: it becomes an expression of the connection between modernism and the present, a symbol of a moment of rest and luxury.
With Ulisse, Konstantin Grcic continues the cooperation with ClassiCon, which began 25 years ago and resulted in successful projects such as Diana side tables and Pallas table. While his early designs for ClassiCon were primarily concerned with industrial production and technical-structural aesthetics, Ulisse places a deliberate emphasis on craftsmanship, production and materiality, which have become increasingly important in his more recent designs. Unlike the use of semi-finished products, working with solid wood requires precise determination of the thickness and detail of each material and the ability to execute them with appropriate perfection. Ulisse thus becomes an important development in ClassiCon's long-standing collaboration with one of the most influential contemporary designers.
