Le Mura

Le Mura cannot be defined as a simple sofa: it is a modular system, a manifesto of radical design from the 1970s, that combines elements of various shapes and sizes into virtually infinite configurations.

Tacchini has reissued Le Mura by Mario Bellini in full respect of the original project, conceived as a response not only to questions of aesthetics, proportions, and ergonomics, but also to social, ethical, and moral values: the result possesses an inexhaustible and overwhelming power—just as impactful today as it was then.

Modularity is central, and it's already expressed in the name: like the large stones that once formed Roman walls, the elements of this system can theoretically be combined endlessly to fit spaces of any size without ever losing their strong stylistic identity. With Le Mura, Mario Bellini shaped a manifesto of 1970s radical design, where aesthetics and social meaning merge into a project of lasting power.
