Italian design is a good example of a style that retains its own identity while keeping an open mind and fusing with other countries’ concepts. The Jord modular sofa is a good example of this, having a design concept that joins together the ideas of two distinct countries: Italy and Sweden.

This project that fuses Swedish and Italian design is named Jord (which is the which is Swedish for ‘earth’) and it’s the result of the collaborative imaginations and concepts of Swedish furniture manufacturer Fogia partnered with Luca Nichetto. The basis for the products in this new collection are taking inspiration from the low, broad bases that are often seen in Italian sofas and fusing them with the rich palette of materials that Swedish design has always had.
