By pairing a slim steel frame with thick comfortable cushions, Italian designer Piero Lissoni created an elegant silhouette that complements many different settings. The Avio Bench is available in a choice of size, base finish, and fabric or leather upholstery.In 2018, Piero Lissoni combined his signature tailored aesthetic and balanced proportions with an innovative frame—resulting in the airy Avio Sofa Series. “This is a true industrial project, of great complexity,” says Lissoni. Based on the idea of a structural beam, Avio is built as a steel truss supporting a series of platforms, or seats. “It is a product that changes the traditional idea of upholstered furniture,” says the designer.
