luxury corner sofa
The “Shanghai” luxury sofa style is typically associated with sleek modern Italian-inspired design, deep comfort, and upscale materials. Several premium versions exist, especially from brands like Poliform and Moroso.
A Shanghai luxury sofa usually features:
- Low-profile contemporary design with clean geometric lines
- Deep plush seating for a lounge-style feel
- Premium upholstery such as velvet, boucle, leather, or textured fabric
- Slim metal or aluminium bases that create a floating appearance
- Modular or U-shape layouts for larger living spaces
- Neutral luxury tones like beige, grey, cream, olive, or black
The Italian-designed Poliform Shangai three-seater sofa is known for its minimalist architecture, aluminium base, and refined tailoring. Designers describe it as balancing formal elegance with comfort.
Another iconic interpretation is the Moroso Shanghai Tip Sofa, designed by Patricia Urquiola. It combines soft cushioning with adjustable backrests and distinctive thin steel legs inspired by “pick-up sticks” (called Shanghai in Italian).
