3 modules, infinite configuration possibilities
In 1975, Roberto Monsani envisioned the Life modular sofa, a design far ahead of its time, proposing new ways to inhabit and reimagine living spaces. Originally conceptualized with an innovative lucite frame, today Life is thoughtfully updated, celebrating both contemporary comfort and Monsani’s original vision. The sofa’s versatile modules create countless arrangements, adapting seamlessly to any environment.
From Vienna’s refined Atelier Nielsen, where Life effortlessly blends with elegant minimalism, to Mutina Interiors, where it complements sophisticated ceramic textures, its presence gently bridges diverse aesthetics. In Milan’s dynamic Sarpi district, within a residence crafted by Nobis Penazzi, the soft blue tones of the Life sofa harmonize beautifully with iconic pieces by Gianfranco Frattini and Vico Magistretti, uniting tradition with contemporary style.
Across these distinct spaces, the Life modular sofa demonstrates Monsani’s lasting influence, highlighting a timeless dialogue between design, function, and artistic expression.

Roberto Monsani started his professional career in Florence by designing homes and urban development plans in Tuscany. Between the 1970s and 1990s he designed commercial buildings and shops in Europe, America and Asia. In 1973, from the restructuring of a sales centre inside Palazzo Ferroni, Life was born: conceived as an artistic solution, it became an industrial product in 1974, the year in which the collaboration between Acerbis and Monsani began. His most recent works have been in Rome: the recovery of representative spaces and the furnishing inside the historic Palazzo Borghese, and the conversion of the Adriano theatre in Piazza Cavour.
