Designed by Francesco Binfaré for the Edra brand, Standalto is a soft, supple and elegant sofa. With its wide range of compositions, this is a sofa capable of adapting perfectly to the needs of each of its users. Raised 15 centimetres off the ground, the style of Standalto becomes airy and its exceptional softness offers optimum comfort.
The structure of the Standalto retains the fundamental element of the "intelligent cushion". Thanks to a combination of special materials, the intelligent cushion can be shaped to suit your needs: it can be raised, lowered or moved into the position best suited to your current use, simply and effortlessly, with a light touch of the hand. The 'intelligence' of the cushion is a real revolution in terms of relaxation and well-being. It changes the aesthetics of the sofa, giving life to a wide variety of fully customisable comforts.

Francesco Binfaré was born in Milan, Italy, in 1939. After completing his artistic training under his father, he began working for Cassina in 1960, initially as a researcher for new technologies and then as Cesare Cassina's assistant for new projects and later for the production of prototypes. From 1969 to 1976, he was director of Centro Cassina and was responsible for the creation of design classics such as "Up 5" by Gaetano Pesce (1969) and "AEO" by Paolo Deganello (1973). In 1980, he set up the Centro design e comunicazione to develop projects. After leaving Cassina in 1991, Francesco Binfaré designed seats that have become design icons such as the matching "L'Homme et la Femme" (1993), Tangeri (1994) and Angels (1996) sofas for Edra; the "Girotonda" armchair in 1994 and the "Grand'angolo" sofa in 1995 for Adele C.
