The seat depth of the Romeo Compact sofa is pared down, compared to that of the Romeo seating system, but still maintains the delicate lines, generous padding and couture tailoring of its namesake. The higher backrest of the Romeo Compact sofa allows comfortable support, despite the elimination of the cushion with bolster that, instead, comes with the Romeo sofa. The sofa sits on graceful cast aluminum feet. Delicate grosgrain piping outlines the cushions, lending the Romeo Compact sofa a fresh, contemporary decor vibe. Thanks to its scaled-down proportions, the Romeo Compact sofa fits with ease in residential settings with space restrictions, as well as hospitality venues, like lounges and waiting rooms.
