Pillopipe is an iconic sofa created by an iconic designer, Paola Navone.

The original’s stand-out qualities include a prominent piping that’s extra thick, almost like a braid.

The feature gives it a textural quality and defined profile that provides visual contrast and visual relief. It’s also a modular piece, with options for single armrests, central or corner elements, circular cushions, chaise lounges, and ottomans.

This flexibility makes it great for hospitality settings, but the latest wrinkle is the contemporary incarnation. As explained by Navone herself, this version is “made a little more contemporary by lowering the armrests and the structure slightly and modifying the base.”

All told, Pillopipe EVO strikes a nice balance between comfortable and compact, spacious and streamlined.

Doubling down on that, Casamilano is also offering Pillopipe EVO GREEN, a sustainable version that features a hypoallergenic and biodegradable padding containing cork granules and sustainably sourced wood for the frame, making it “our first modular sofa that’s 100% eco-sustainable , in compliance with the standards of the circular economy.”

Pillopipe EVO is a bespoke product. See Casamilano to explore the more than 100 upholstery options in both fabric and leather.
