The Intermediate Mariposa — Space for Three

Despite its name, the Mariposa 2½-Seater offers plenty of space and excellent comfort for up to three people. Two soft seat cushions invite users to stretch out lengthwise, using the adjustable armrests as a back or neck rest — for reading, or simply taking a nap. It sits between the compact 2-Seater and the generous 3-Seater, making it the most versatile model in the family.

Like all Mariposa sofas, the slim side and back elements can be individually tilted — continuously and silently — from an upright position to an outward angle of approximately 30° and back again. The resistance is calibrated so that the elements stay in place under normal use, but yield to intentional pressure, allowing each user to find their ideal position.
