For more than half a century, Poliform has stood as one of the leading Italian luxury furniture design companies, celebrated for its craftsmanship, innovation, and timeless aesthetic. In this issue, we spotlight one of Poliform’s most evocative creations: the Saint-Germain sofa system by Jean-Marie Massaud.

Inspired by the soft, sculptural forms of 1970s design, Saint-Germain captures a sensual harmony between comfort and art. Its enveloping curves and voluptuous proportions transform any room into a warm and familiar landscape—an invitation to slow down, sink in, and experience design through feeling as much as sight.

Massaud’s vision for the collection lies in its balance between elegance and intimacy. Soft, fluid lines recur throughout the series, which offers a range of modular compositions—from linear sofas to L-shaped and organically curved configurations. This versatility allows the Saint-Germain system to adapt effortlessly to any interior, whether it’s a contemporary penthouse overlooking Biscayne Bay or a tranquil seaside retreat.

The magic of Saint-Germain lies not only in its form but also in its finish. The upholstery—crafted in haute couture bouclé fabrics or refined leather—enhances the sofa’s fullness and tactile richness. Each texture tells its own story, playing with light and depth to emphasize the generous contours of the design. The result is a piece that’s both timeless and modern, sensual and structured—a perfect embodiment of Poliform’s philosophy that beauty and comfort are inseparable.

Every element of the Saint-Germain collection feels intentional. The curved modules speak of movement; the soft padding, of serenity. Together, they form a sofa system that serves as the main character of an orchestrated contemporary living space.
