Design: Maurizio Manzoni

The rounded, sinuous silhouettes of Craig embrace new shapes. Designed to adapt to linear compositions and corner or chaise longue solutions, Craig by Cattelan Italia evolves in a new curvy configuration.
The rounded or squared versions have been supplemented by the curved element, which allows the seat to be moved away from the wall and the sofa to be positioned in the centre of the room.
Officially presented as new for 2026 at the Salone del Mobile.Milano, the enveloping backrest, which accommodates the cushions and creates a continuous, three-dimensional volume, curves even further. This design feature organises space and expands the sofa’s compositional possibilities in contemporary living room décor.

The introduction of the curvy element interrupts the symmetry of the linear modular system and extends its design flexibility, fostering sociability and optimising the layout for vis-à-vis conversation among guests.
Without compromising the modularity of the system and preserving its essence, even in the new curved shape, the armrest remains the element of strong recognisability: it maintains its structural and formal role, reinforcing the continuity of the profile and accentuating the sense of enclosure.

In open-plan environments or in architectures characterised by fluid floor plans, the curved module allows functional areas to be divided by the shape of the sofa itself, without the introduction of dividing elements.

This range extension represents a conscious design evolution for Cattelan Italia, which consolidates the identity of the Craig system and extends its creative and functional potential. The introduction of the curve is not a stylistic variation, but the expression of an approach geared towards versatility, contemporary ways of living and dialogue with domestic architecture.
