The story
The Double Layered Back Sofa is an elongated low-profile sofa by Studio Paolo Ferrari, part of Editions Paolo Ferrari.
Its most distinctive element is the continuous back construction: a double layer of rounded upholstered forms that runs the full length of the piece. The arms share this geometry, curving without break into the backrest. Upholstered in a cream textured boucle-like fabric, the overall mass reads as soft and cohesive, a single sustained gesture rather than an assembly of parts.
The sofa rests on a dark metal sled base, giving the piece a floating appearance. There is no visible leg at the corners; the horizontal sled carries the full structure and recedes under the body.
Within Editions Paolo Ferrari, the layered back motif also appears in the Layered Back Dining Chair, demonstrating Studio Paolo Ferrari's tendency to develop a formal idea across multiple scales and functions. The Double Layered Back Sofa is the largest expression of that motif.
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.
