Free sketchup 3d model sofa Arne Antonio Citterio design

Sofa Arne, Manufacturer B&B Italia, is a tribute to a great Italian designer Antonio Citterio which is one of my favorite designers.
This seating system has a distinctive, curved shape and a comfortable backrest. It’s available in a lot of different configurations, for different sized areas, and can take up more or less space with a seating area of a larger or smaller width. Options without armrests are available, as well as models with one or two armrests. In this case the armrests are the natural continuation of the suspended backrest. Arne sofas were designed to be set next to the wall or be placed in the centre of a room. 

The seating areas have large seat cushions and are sustained by aluminium supports. Each model is cosy and welcoming. The semi-circular or corner versions of Arne provide face-to-face seating for people to gather around a point of attraction, which is the television or the home theatre set in today’s houses. Arne is also the perfect place to relax in complete comfort. 

The 3d model is available in sketchup 8, full of texture. In the file, you will find the 3 main configurations. Enjoy ^ - ^

Free sketchup 3d model modern Kitchen #9 Italian Design

Kalì, is a stunning modern kitchen designed and produced in Italy by Arredo 3 which well represents the latest furniture trends for this sector.
Kalì is a kitchen that joins typical elements of tradition with the contemporary settings. To reinterpret classical elements, integrating them with modern technologies as the handle 30° and grip profile system...this is the bet that Kalì is intended to win.

Working through a subtraction of decorative elements, it keeps unchanged typical warmth of old kitchens. A traditional suol interpreted with laminate that perfectly trace the oak matterism combined to innovative materials in glossy and mat laminate and top in laminate fenix.

Due to the interest that has aroused the post that we published on our facebook page a few days ago, we decided to model it in 3d, entrusting the task to Rosanna Mataloni, to which we give our thanks
The 3D model of kitchen Kali, is available in sketchup 8, complete with all the textures and accessories, as well as see in the image below
