"At just a glance, the Elogio Sofa conjures a world of possibilities as connections construct themselves: lounging on a five-piece sectional with a large group; sitting quietly with a partner on a two-seater for intimate conversation; and gazing out a window from the chaise with a steamy mug in hand. Originally designed in 1974 by Afra and Tobia Scarpa as an evolution of their Erasmo sofa, this collection invites softness within the architectural structure, creating a sense of warmth in any configuration."
""When Afra and I first designed Elogio in 1974, modularity was almost a provocation, a way to question the fixed dimension of traditional domestic life," Scarpa says. "Today, modularity seems to have become a necessity." People want - and need - furniture that adapts to an ever-changing lifestyle. And Elogio's essence hasn't changed, granting freedom of composition and allowing space to evolve with people's needs and desires."
Elogio is a modular sofa collection originally designed in 1974 by Afra and Tobia Scarpa and revisited by Tobia Scarpa for GUBI in 2025. The collection comprises two side-panel modules and one armless centre module that can be used alone or combined into linear, corner, chaise, or experimental compositions, scalable across apartment and commercial settings. The design centers on an oversized pillow system with paired cushions joined by flexible fabric to enable multiple styling options. The 2025 revision enhances comfort, sustainability markers, and ease of use while preserving the original intent of adaptable domestic living.
