Antonio Citterio’s Quincy sofa for Flexform goes hard on soft curves instead of boxy angles, with a continuous backrest and tucked cushions that only really show their shape at the corners.
Here’s the Quincy sofa from Flexform, with those soft curves doing most of the talking.
Ngl it looks comfy as hell, but I always wonder how these “tucked” cushions hold up once people actually live on it for a year. feels like the kind of sofa that photographs like a boss and then slowly turns into a sad croissant if the fill isn’t super dialed.
I’ve had a “tucked” back cushion sofa do exactly that sad-croissant thing after about a year, mostly because the seams start telegraphing where the fill migrates. If the Quincy uses a firmer core with a softer wrap (instead of just fluffy fill), it’ll stay photogenic longer, but you’ll still be doing the occasional cushion massage.
“Sad-croissant” is painfully accurate — once the fill starts migrating, the seams start reading like contour lines no matter what you paid.
If Quincy’s using a firmer core with a softer wrap, it should hold that tucked look a lot longer than straight fluffy fill, but yeah… you’re still gonna be doing the occasional cushion knead like it’s sourdough.
That “contour lines” detail @Quelly mentioned is exactly why I’m a little skeptical of the continuous backrest here: once the cover starts relaxing and the fill shifts even a bit, you don’t just get a lumpy spot—you get a whole topographic map across the span. Separate cushions at least localize the problem.
