Anagram Sofa

Panter&Tourron, 2024

Anagram is more than just a sofa: it is a family made up of a few modules and elements that can be used to quickly respond to the needs of the moment as well as major life changes.

'Anagram lives up to its name: you can continually rearrange the individual components to create different stories and situations.'

Click & play

Anagram adapts to everyday life: the platform modules are designed as islands that can be combined with other modules on all four sides and fitted with elements such as backrests, side panels and attachable tables. This enables countless configurations, which can be easily modified time and again to suit new needs.

'Anagram is not just a comfortable sofa. It is a flexible lounge system that can be easily adapted to changing needs within seconds.'
Panter&Tourron
With a choice of just eleven different components – modules and elements – it is possible to assemble the appropriate configuration for a wide range of requirements: small, large, single-sided, double-sided, alternate-sided, closed, open, etc. And when the needs change, Anagram can be easily adapted to the new situation.

Modules and versions

Sink in & relax

Anagram's large seat cushions offer pleasant comfort whether for sitting, lounging or enjoying a cosy nap – at home, in the office or in public spaces. The upholstered panels can be positioned to best suit the respective situation.

Vegan cushion filling made of recycled PET fibres

The softly comfortable and inviting cushions are filled exclusively with recycled PET fibres that are separable and recyclable. Polyester fibres have very good elastic properties and offer pleasant comfort.

Exchange & renew

Anagram's fabric covers are easy to remove for cleaning or replacement. All components are completely separate from other materials – nothing is glued, laminated or foamed. This means that these can be easily separated at the end of the product's life and recycled again or correctly disposed of.

Longevity

Vitra's development guidelines stipulate the separability of materials, modularity, ease of disassembly, reparability, understated design and much more.
Platform
The size of the sofa can be modified at any time, such as by adding another platform. This also provides even more options for rearranging the modules in different configurations. Individual platforms can be ordered here.
Panels and back cushions
The Anagram Sofa can be modified at any time. If additional or different panels and cushions are required, these can be ordered individually here.
Attachable tables
If extra storage surface is required, Anagram can be supplemented with attachable tables. Order these here.
Covers and glides
With new covers, you can freshen up your Anagram Sofa or – depending on the colour – give it a completely new look. You can easily do the replacement yourself. Order new covers in the fabric and colour of your choice here. You can also order new replacement glides here at any time and install them yourself.

Can variations in colour occur when additional elements are ordered at a later date?

How should the sofa be recycled at the end of its service life?
The Anagram Sofa was developed with the aim that all components and their materials can be easily separated and recycled whenever possible at the end of the product's life. As a result, most of the materials – many of which are themselves made from recyclates – can ultimately be returned to the circular economy.

Sink in & relax

Is the sofa vegan?
Anagram is vegan when ordered with the cover materials Laser Re, Hola, Iroko 2, Linho and Savana. All other covers contain animal-based fibres.
Are PET fibres hypoallergenic?
Yes, PET fibres are hypoallergenic. However, the material composition of the selected cover must also be taken into account.
How does the material perform over time?
Ripples and indentations from sitting (pressure marks) and partially visible outlines of the chamber cushions are characteristic of high-quality, soft upholstery in combination with a removable cover and can be more or less pronounced, depending on the selected cover material. Cushions should be regularly shaken and plumped to retain their fullness and shape. Instructions can be found here.

Sofa Configurator

How does the Sofa Configurator on vitra.com work for the Anagram Sofa?
The configurator tool employs a drag-and-drop interface: the process always starts with a platform, then the panels are added followed by the backrest cushions, and finally the required Vitra Cushions and attachable tables are selected. Users can experiment and try out different colours and materials - for the individual parts as well as for the overall combination of materials and fabrics.
What functions does the Sofa Configurator offer?
Along with the sofa dimensions, filters can be additionally defined for the colours and individual functions. Materials and colours can also be compared.
Can sofas be visualised in a given space with augmented reality (AR) technology?
Yes, sofas can be visualised in a three-dimensional setting with AR via the 'View in room' icon.
Can I share my favourite configuration with friends and family?
Yes, you can use the configurator's 'Share' icon to share selected sofa layouts with friends and family – and in a next step also with a Vitra dealer.
