Sanders Air Sectional with Chaise
Sanders Air Sectional with Chaise
By Ditre Italia | Designer: Stefano Spessotto
The Sanders Air Sectional with Chaise Lounge by the elite Italian design house Ditre Italia is a breathtaking, gravity-defying masterpiece of contemporary "destructured" living. Conceptualized by the highly acclaimed design duo Stefano Spessotto & Lorella Agnoletto, the Sanders Air elevates the brand’s iconic Sanders modular platform, quite literally, onto an elegant, architectural metal frame.
By taking a grand, deep chaise lounge layout and raising it high off the floor, this sectional sofa achieves the ultimate design paradox: it is a sprawling, luxurious island of relaxation that feels entirely weightless, airy, and deeply integrated into the modern home.
At the heart of this layout is the generous, continuous chaise module. Engineered with a clean, uninterrupted seating pad, the chaise behaves as a luxurious personal platform that invites you to stretch out completely for deep evening relaxation, reading, or afternoon lounging.
The defining hallmark of this model is its sleek, structural metal base. Rather than sitting heavily against your flooring, the entire platform is suspended on ultra-slender, minimalist metal runners (available in refined finishes like Anthracite, Dark Brown, or Black Chrome). This creates a striking "floating" illusion, allowing natural light to flow uninterrupted underneath the massive modules.
The true crown jewel of the Sanders system is its unattached, weighted mobile backrests. Devoid of fixed brackets, clips, or tracks, these structural, down-filled cushions can be picked up, rotated, and positioned anywhere along the expansive base or chaise.
Beneath its breezy, floating exterior lies heavy-duty Italian engineering designed to keep your lounging configurations rock-solid and supremely comfortable:
High-Friction Support Matrix: To ensure that the mobile backrests do not slip when you lean back, their undersides are constructed with specialized, high-friction weighted counter-ballasts. They grip the fabric of the seat platform firmly, providing remarkably sturdy, dependable support for your upper back and head.
The Resilient Core Frame: The floating base platform is built from premium solid fir wood blockboard, structural E1-class multi-layered panels, and reinforcing steel supports, wrapped completely in protective Tecnoform lining.
Generous Down Cushioning: The deep seating pads feature a core of non-deformable multi-density polyurethane foam wrapped in a plush, channeled duvet of genuine goose down. The backrests and scatter cushions are packed with a soft down-and-fiber blend, ensuring a luxurious, medium-soft "sink-in" comfort that recovers its crisp, tailored shape beautifully.
Seat Height: 16 ⅛”
The Ditre Italia Sanders Air Sectional with Chaise is tailor-made for design purists, contemporary interior architects, and upscale homeowners who want a grand, multi-person seating landscape without cluttering the visual field of their home. Because of its stunning 360-degree finished profile and double-sided flexibility, this sectional is explicitly meant to be "floated" center-stage in high-volume, open-concept living zones or modern apartments with panoramic views. It is the ultimate statement piece for anyone who demands an authentic piece of 100% Made-in-Italy craftsmanship that merges modular playfulness with lightweight architectural elegance.
