Jord: A Modular Sofa That Blends Italian and Swedish Roots

Swedish furniture manufacturer Fogia partnered with Luca Nichetto on a modular sofa system that gently blends their Scandinavian heritage with his Italian design sense. Jord, which is Swedish for ‘earth’, features low, broad bases that are often seen in Italian sofas, along with a rich palette of materials that lends itself to Scandinavian design.

Jord’s design allows for customization in any situation as there are various components available, like one-seater, two-seater, three-seater, ottoman, and table options. It even has collapsible arms and backrests for additional lounge comfort.
