A subway-inspired sofa is among designs by Konstantin Grcic, Philippe Starck, the Bouroullec brothers and Patricia Urquiola to be launched by Cassina at Milan design week.
Grcic turned to both the history of Milan and Cassina to create the Soft Props sofa, which foregoes a traditional backrest in favour of a steel pipe that runs around the seats.
The detail references subway handrails from the Milan Metro, which form part of a wayfinding system created by Dutch designer Bob Noorda and Italian architect Franco Albini.
