    The band sets the price, not the colour. Each upholstery option covers one or two Arketipo price categories and is priced at the higher of the two. Once you order, we'll go through Arketipo's fabrics and leathers in your band with you and confirm your exact choice before production starts. If you choose one from the lower-priced category, we refund the difference. Pelle B and Pelle Leonardo leathers are available on request.

    About the design

    A bold aesthetic that plays on the balance between rigor and abandon: the Wideboy sofa embodies a new vision of comfort, where theinspiration associated with the amplitude of volumes merges with exceptional sartorial care. The structure is defined by a series of panels, tightened by distinctive strap details that encircle its generous proportions. This thin and minimal structure accommodates by contrast a generous seat, designed to offer enveloping support that never loses its shape despite its large size. Wideboy ‘s seems to float lightly in space thanks to a base with invisible feet that lift the structure, giving it a striking suspended effect.

    I bought a very nice sofa for an even better price in the TFU design shop. Lovely place to nose around. The guys are super friendly and helpful. They have a very good feeling for style and design. I trust them to refurbish/ decorate my house if I put it up for sale or rental.
