With its name inspired by the interweaving of Greek mythology and Sicilian tradition, Acamante is the new upholstered furniture collection designed by Elisa Ossino for laCividina and based on the concept of modularity.
Acamante stands out for its structure, characterized by the layering of stackable elements that decisively define all sides of the sofa – front, back, and sides. The “layered” cushions rest on a lacquered plywood base (available in butter or sandblasted black/anthracite gray) or covered in fabric, which also functions as a side table or surface, in perfect harmony with the color of the upholstered part.
Its modular nature allows the sofa to be arranged and rearranged in multiple configurations: linear, corner or island, adapting dynamically and flexibly to any space and need.
Acamante is designed to offer maximum comfort, which is the result of two distinctive structural elements: a wide seating surface and cushions made with differentiated-density padding. The base structure, characterized by greater firmness, ensures stability and support, while the upper layers, progressively softer, culminate in a welcoming cushioning designed to provide an extremely comfortable seating experience.
Elisa Ossino explains:
“Working on the concept of layering the elements that make up a sofa, starting from its internal structure, I envisioned a system that could transform while always maintaining its iconic presence and strong formal identity – something immediately recognizable. Acamante, like a mythological character whose name contains the word ‘amante’ (lover), suggests a passionate and intense way of experiencing all the functional, structural, and formal possibilities of a piece of furniture.”
