Plust Vela sofa

The Vela Sofa by Plust, designed by Art Directors BrogliatoTraverso, represents the natural evolution of the acclaimed Vela Armchair. A project that expands the armchair's concept of comfort and hospitality, transforming it into a generously proportioned sofa designed to encourage social interaction and relaxation.
Inspired by the poetic image of sails billowing in the wind, the Vela Sofa takes shape as a single sculptural volume molded by an invisible force. Its soft, dynamic forms create an elegant asymmetry that brings movement and visual lightness to the composition, transforming the sofa into an architectural element capable of defining any environment.
Designed for prestigious outdoor spaces yet perfectly at home in contemporary indoor settings, the Vela Sofa combines design, comfort and durability in a single furnishing solution with remarkable visual impact.

A Sofa Sculpted by the Wind
The concept behind the Vela Sofa originates from the same inspiration that gave life to the armchair: the natural movement of a sail filled with wind.
This image is reinterpreted through a fluid and dynamic form that appears to have been shaped by air itself. The asymmetry of the volume creates tension and movement, giving the sofa a strong visual identity while preserving the overall harmony of the design.
The result is a furnishing piece that is both striking and welcoming, capable of becoming the focal point of terraces, gardens, rooftops and contemporary lounge areas.
The Signature Detail: The Glossy Seam
One of the most refined features of the Vela collection is the distinctive raised seam that runs along the entire perimeter of the structure.
This visual and tactile detail emphasizes the sculptural tension of the volume and creates an elegant contrast between the glossy finish of the perimeter line and the matte surface of the sofa body.
The resulting three-dimensional effect adds depth to the forms and reflects the precision and attention to detail typical of Italian craftsmanship.
