The 9000 Sofa by Tito Agnoli for Arflex is an iconic modular sofa system from the 1960s and 1970s. Designed to embody flexibility, comfort, and simplicity, the 9000 sofa consists of individual units that can be arranged and reconfigured to suit different spaces and needs, a characteristic highly valued in mid-century modern design.

Agnoli’s design for the 9000 sofa features clean lines, low-profile seating, and an emphasis on plush, inviting upholstery, often seen in warm, neutral tones. The backrest and seat have a slightly curved, ergonomic form that enhances comfort, while subtle stitching details add a touch of sophistication to the otherwise minimal aesthetic. The sofa’s modularity, combined with its compact yet comfortable design, made it ideal for various interiors, from smaller apartments to large living rooms.

Arflex, known for pushing the boundaries of materials and comfort in furniture design, produced the 9000 sofa with high-quality materials that ensured durability and comfort. The sofa’s timeless design and versatility have made it a collector’s item and a classic example of Italian modernism, which emphasizes functional beauty.
