A modular icon for relaxed living
Some designs do not simply reflect their time. They move beyond it. Free System is one of those pieces. Originally designed by Claudio Salocchi in 1973, this upholstered system still feels remarkably contemporary today.
Bold, flexible, and endlessly adaptable, Free System rethinks the idea of the sofa as something more open, more informal, and more architectural.
Inspired by the concept of operated flooring, or tatami, Free System was created as a new way of inhabiting space. Rather than following the rules of a traditional sofa, it introduces a landscape of upholstered elements that can be arranged freely.
Linear compositions, corner setups, or island like arrangements for larger interiors. Each configuration creates its own atmosphere and rhythm within a room.
It is furniture designed to move with the way we live.
First introduced in 1973 and still celebrated today, Free System captures the spirit of a modern domestic utopia. It is a piece that feels rooted in design history, yet entirely relevant for contemporary interiors.
This balance is what Acerbis does so well. Honouring archival design while keeping it fresh, intelligent, and current
Founded in 1870, Averbis has long been known for pushing Italian design forward. With a legacy shaped by innovation, craftsmanship, and collaboration with visionary designers, the brand continues to create furniture that feels both radical and refined.
Free System is a perfect expression of that legacy. Experimental in concept, timeless in presence.
Designed to be composed
Free System is more than a sofa. It is a modular interior element that invites creativity. A piece that can define an open space, soften architecture, or become the focal point of a room.
