The Tibur Sofa is a sculptural bench by Studio Paolo Ferrari, part of the Tibur Collection's exploration of natural stone as seating material.
Carved from light beige travertine, the piece takes a semicircular form with a continuous seat and backrest. The surface preserves the stone's natural porosity, its geological markings left visible rather than polished away. At each end, the bench closes with faceted angular cuts, a deliberate contrast that sets geometric precision against organic texture.
Travertine is the signature material of the Tibur Collection, chosen for its weight, its geological narrative, and its slow-burn aesthetic presence. Stone at this scale resists decoration; the form carries the design. The Tibur Sofa holds its position in a room the way stone holds a landscape.
Studio Paolo Ferrari developed Editions Paolo Ferrari as a collection of handcrafted objects where sculptural ambition and functional purpose coexist. The Tibur Sofa belongs to this sensibility: a seat that reads as an object first and furniture second.

About
Studio Paolo Ferrari
Studio Paolo Ferrari is a Toronto-based interior design practice founded in 2016 by Paolo Ferrari. Before establishing the studio, Ferrari served as Design Director at Yabu Pushelberg for six years, building technical depth in luxury hospitality projects across North America and Europe.
The studio's approach treats each commission as a contained world. Ferrari draws on cinema, art, and architecture as structural references, particularly the spatial storytelling of Kubrick and Lynch, the material rigor of Donald Judd, and the formal precision of Alvar Aalto. This framing informs the studio's defining move: pairing materials and aesthetics from different eras until the space holds genuine tension. The Secret Room at Five Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, with fresco-like walls against a futuristic bar volume, is one of the more cited examples. The Long Bar & Terrace at Raffles Boston won the AHEAD Americas Award in 2024.
Active globally, the studio works in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with clients including Raffles, Four Seasons, Sanlorenzo Yachts, Red Sea Global, Auberge Resorts, 1 Hotels, Holt Renfrew, and Poltrona Frau. Boutique Design named Studio Paolo Ferrari its 2025 Designer of the Year.
Alongside the studio, Ferrari founded Editions Paolo Ferrari in 2016, a handcrafted furniture collection produced in Canada. Each edition is a conceptually unified body of objects at the junction of sculpture and function. Pieces from the Editions Paolo Ferrari collection are available on Monde Singulier.
