Prostoria launches two new collections that impress with both their design and functionality: Buffa and Rei were both designed by Numen / For Use. The furniture reflects today’s style, comfort and aesthetics.
Buffa: comfort redefined
Prostoria presents the Buffa collection. The Numen / For Use design team has created furniture that perfectly captures the spirit of the times. The name Buffa, which at first glance conveys a certain lightness, fits perfectly with the characteristics of this collection.
The Buffa sofa is an oasis of relaxation. The armrest doubles as a headrest and is ergonomically shaped to support the body when lying down. This helps you to forget the rigours of everyday life. A luxurious corner element can be added to increase the seat depth and further enhance comfort. The collection also includes an armchair that can be used separately and is particularly suitable for public areas.
Another notable feature of Buffa is its playful and overlapping design, which is reminiscent of Italian comic opera. This subtle combination gives the sofa an artistic touch and makes it a real eye-catcher in any room.
Rei: Synthesis of form and function
The Rei armchair from Prostoria was also designed by Numen / For Use. It is inspired by free jazz but designed in the spirit of functional modernism. Rei embodies a formal tension between rigour and plasticity and impresses with its elegant and flowing design.
Rei is Prostoria’s answer to the classic lounge or club chair and is characterised by refined simplicity and a certain lightness. The name Rei is a nod to Ray Eames and Ray Charles, but also to the giant manta ray. The armchair is intended to serve as an anchor point in the room, defining it and transforming it into a zone of personal ritual.
With its flexible, contoured plywood shell contrasted by soft upholstery at different heights and a matching lounge stool, Rei blurs the increasingly blurred boundaries between living and working or private and public. The integrated swivel mechanism maximises comfort and flexibility, making Rei a versatile piece of furniture.
The seamless fusion of free flow and formal restraint makes Rei seating both iconic and egalitarian, ambitious and sober. These characteristics define the collection and make it a remarkable addition to any modern interior.
New standards
With the Buffa and Rei collections, Prostoria is setting new standards in modern furniture design. Both collections combine comfort, functionality and aesthetics in a unique way. While Buffa offers an oasis of relaxation, Rei serves as a stylish anchor point that enriches any room. With these new collections, Prostoria once again proves that the company is one of the leading manufacturers in the field of modern furniture design.
