It’s hard not to think about a sofa with such an iconic name that evokes a song title, a way of living or someone you may even know; it was always our intention to create a sofa that was unexpected, that seduces and with Smooth Operator we think we’ve achieved just that.
We’re not playing with design, we’re using it to define a system of living.
We’re playing in the realms of contemporary trends and dynamic festivity. What we have created is something that blends the lines of beauty and craftsmanship, creating a system where the cushions accompany the movements of the body thanks to thought out mechanical engineering.
As Sade so eloquently put it, “he moves in space with minimum waste and maximum joy” and our own Smooth Operator does that beyond the metaphorical.

What makes us is our history, what inspires us is our heritage. We feed off the creative impulses and visions of the past, forcing us to imagine our new legacy, one based on the Arketipo way. From what made us, to what makes us think to today, everything is grounded in a past that is forever present, forever pushing us forwards.
