A sofa floating on an upturned edge, like the collar the French call "col Claudine".
The Arflex Claudine is a sofa with a tailored feel: the seat seems to float on an upturned edge, like a collar. It was designed by the Swedish studio Claesson Koivisto Rune in 2014. Here at Mariani, official Arflex retailers in Milan and Arluno, we explain its units, upholstery, how to get a quote and where to try it.

Arflex describes the Claudine as a sofa floating on an upturned edge, reminiscent of the dress collar known in France as the "col Claudine". You can see the detail clearly in the photos: the base draws a thin outline beneath the cushions and lightens the whole volume.
The Claudine comes in two versions, Claudine L and Claudine M, with the same list of units in the catalogue. In our showroom we help you choose the right one for your space.
Claesson Koivisto Rune was founded in 1995 as an architectural office and works, in the classic Scandinavian way, across disciplines: architecture and design. Its built projects include the Sfera Building in Kyoto and a number of retail spaces.
For Arflex the studio has designed many pieces: Claudine in 2014, then Bonsai in 2016 and Edo in 2023, as well as Tokio. In Claudine the reference is tailoring: the upturned edge the seat rests on recalls the "col Claudine" collar.
The Claudine is more than a straight sofa: with one-arm and armless units, the corner unit and the chaise longue you can build corner or peninsula compositions.
