Biggie

“I was looking for a project that was chameleonic, in all respects. Modular, with a dimension that can grow, ideally, infinitely. And, at the same time, I also wanted a simple, traditional two or three-seater sofa. Unquestionably comfortable, soft. Equally suitable for business environments or our living rooms. And for all the places we inhabit today, where functions naturally overlap.

A product that’s understood anywhere in the world: from Europe to the Far East. And finally, a piece constructed via a simple, yet clever manufacturing process.”

all products \ Sofas \ Biggie

Biggie is a complete collection: from bed to lounge chair, from armchair to sofa. A system composed of formal details that encompasses all of life’s essential moments.

“A new collection encapsulates every aspect of the brand. Twils is looking to evolve in terms of furniture for the living area. But it’s in the sleeping areas that its strengths lie. Biggie includes both: I wanted to create a fil rouge that combines and capitalizes on all the company’s expertise and experience.
I considered the structure of both the bed and the sofa. If you reduce them to the bare minimum, they are not too dis similar. A rigid structure which contains a soft element. So, first of all, I designed a shell, a structure which offers different possibilities, different solutions”.
Luca Nichetto

Biggie is a collection consisting of an original composition that finds its rationale in one simple observation: tastes and habits are governed by geography.

“Southern Europe loves modular sofas. The Centre, the North and the Far East, especially further north, prefer configurations consisting of two or three seats”.
Luca Nichetto

The Biggie aesthetic works in both free-standing mode and in the modular version. It’s based on a versatile, repetitive framework. But which can be configured to create different forms: the sofa, the bed, an ample chaise longue. It’s all there: north and south. Rationality, softness. As the name suggests, Biggie is an extensive collection.

Biggie Mono - Biggie Freestyle

Two new products have been added to the Biggie collection by Luca Nichetto. The three-seater sofa is the latest step in the research carried out by the designer into the production process for a versatile body that can always be made with the same mould. In the three-seater version, instead of a modular construction there is one big shell covered with thin padding.

While the Biggie collection was conceived for use in hybrid spaces and to cater to the residential and contract markets, the new creation for 2024 underlines the ample nature of an item of furniture whose calling clearly lies in living spaces and hospitality.

Biggie Freestyle is a day bed with a versatile, multi-purpose design. The support system for the cushions is designed so that it can be freely positioned all around the perimeter of the base.

It all stems from pragmatic aesthetic thinking, which has led to the choice of a winding form and the use of wood: a warm, refined material.
