news | sofas

An expression of modular elegance, Emile by Christophe Delcourt is a dynamic sofa system designed to adapt to the evolving needs of contemporary living. Characterized by a sculptural silhouette, Emile features a refined backrest with fluid, shifting heights, creating a harmonious play of proportions within the space. Inspired by Lucio Fontana’s works, distinctive graphic marks trace its form, ensuring a striking presence from every perspective.

Design Christophe Delcourt

At its core, Emile embodies the concept of “divided but united.” Its modular nature allows for a range of configurations—linear, circular, or semicircular—each offering a seamless balance between intimacy and openness. The varying depths of the seating, combined with generous loose cushions, invite personalized comfort, catering to different postures and preferences.

Crafted with precision and available in a curated selection of fabrics and leathers from the Molteni&C collection, Emile is a sculptural sofa designed for spaces that embrace both movement and tranquility.

“I enjoy thinking about how we will settle in. We are going to occupy a space, and I work a lot on centrality. I like elements that live in the middle of a room and help to build the space.”

— Christophe Delcourt
