Rotterdam
ROOM TO SETTLE.
Rotterdam is a modular seating collection shaped by generous depth, continuous volumes, and freedom of movement. Its rounded forms create an open and unforced comfort, allowing the body to settle naturally while preserving a calm visual unity.

DESIGN CHARACTER
VISUAL STILLNESS
Every body has its own rhythm.
Rotterdam does not attempt to change it.
Its form is shaped to accommodate different ways of sitting, allowing each person to develop a natural relationship with the collection.
Rather than prescribing how it should be used, Rotterdam creates the conditions for each person to settle in their own way.
The ROBARO Difference
Rotterdam is distinguished by the freedom its forms leave around the body. Every volume is soft and clearly defined, yet never prescribes a single way of sitting.
GENEROUS SEAT SURFACES
Broad upholstered surfaces provide room to shift, turn, stretch, or settle without directing the body towards one fixed position.
DISTINCT BACKREST VOLUMES
Rounded backrests rise as clearly defined forms, introducing support and visual rhythm without enclosing the sitter.
CONTINUOUS UPHOLSTERY
Textile flows across the seat, base, and softened edges, allowing each module to be perceived as one unified volume.
Comfort begins with freedom of movement.
In Rotterdam, comfort is expressed through the volume itself. High-resilience foam shapes broad, rounded seating surfaces that respond to the body while helping the collection preserve the clarity of its silhouette through repeated use.
The upholstery is equally important. Its pronounced weave follows every softened edge, bringing depth to the continuous surfaces and making tactility an essential part of the collection’s identity.
PRODUCT PHILOSOPHY
Rotterdam is shaped around a simple belief: comfort should accommodate the body rather than prescribe it. Broad seating surfaces and distinct backrest volumes create room for different postures, while the modular elements allow each composition to respond to the way a space is lived.
DESIGN STORY
Rotterdam begins with a broad upholstered platform and develops its identity through reduction. Conventional divisions between seat, base, and edge are softened into continuous volumes, while separate rounded backrests introduce rhythm without interrupting the openness of the composition.
SIGNATURE DETAILS
The collection is recognised by its generous seat surfaces, distinct rounded backrests, continuous textured upholstery, and discreet metal supports. The lounge chair carries the same visual language into a compact, shell-like form balanced on a four-star metal base.
LIVING EXPERIENCE
Rotterdam makes room for sitting upright, turning towards conversation, stretching out, or settling into a quieter posture. Its comfort feels informal yet composed, allowing the collection to accompany the changing rhythms of everyday life without losing its visual calm.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
The clarity of Rotterdam depends on careful control beneath and across every surface. Upholstery follows broad planes and curved transitions with precision, while high-resilience foam and an internal timber frame balance softness, support, and lasting form. Metal supports remain visually restrained, allowing the upholstered volumes to define the collection.

Room to Settle
Defined by space rather than density.
Rotterdam does not rely on density to establish its presence. Open space allows the broad seating surfaces, distinct backrest volumes, and sculptural lounge chair to be read as one balanced composition.
Whether arranged as a focused setting or an extended modular landscape, the collection retains its visual calm when each element is given room to breathe. Here, space is not an absence. It is what gives the form clarity.
DEFINED BY SPACE RATHER THAN DENSITY.
