Description

The Cattelan Italia Gibson Central & Chaise Units are the individual modular building blocks of the Gibson sofa system — the seat sections, corner elements, and chaise longue units from which all Gibson compositions are assembled. Seven standard Central Units (78, 91, 104, 117, 156, 208, and 234 cm wide) provide compact through generously extended seating modules at a consistent 90 cm overall height and 42 cm seat height. The Curved Central Unit 117 cm introduces a gently angled corner module available in Left or Right orientation, enabling organic and angled multi-section arrangements. The Chaise Longue Unit 156 cm (117 cm wide × 156 cm deep) provides a deep chaise extension for L-shaped and peninsula compositions. All units share a consistent 63 cm back height and are upholstered across Category A through F fabrics, with an optional Cushion with Roller accessory in three widths independently upholstered in the same fabric range. Made in Italy by Cattelan Italia.

Key Features

  • Nine Module Configurations — Central, Curved, and Chaise: Seven standard Central Units from 78 cm to 234 cm wide, one Curved Central Unit 117 cm (Left or Right), and one Chaise Longue Unit 156 cm cover every seating module needed to assemble any Gibson composition or custom arrangement.
  • Consistent Seating Profile Across All Units: All Central Units share 90 cm overall height, 63 cm back height, and 42 cm seat height, ensuring seamless ergonomic and visual continuity when combining multiple units into a composition.
  • Curved Central Unit 117 cm — Left or Right Orientation: The Curved Central Unit 117 cm is the only Gibson module with an orientation option. Specify Left or Right to determine the direction of the curved corner angle within the composition. All other units are orientation-neutral.
  • Chaise Longue Unit 156 cm — Deep Extension Module: At 117 cm wide and 156 cm deep, the Chaise Longue Unit provides a generous chaise extension without a back, extending the seating depth of any composition at one end. Seat height is consistent at 42 cm; no back height dimension applies.
  • Back Cushion Width Scales with Unit Width: Each Central Unit includes one back cushion sized proportionally to unit width — 68, 81, or 94 cm wide × 60 cm high. Larger units (156 cm, 208 cm, 234 cm) include two or three back cushions respectively. All back cushions are 60 cm high across all units.
  • Optional Cushion with Roller — Three Sizes: PW70 (68×51 cm), PW80 (81×51 cm), and PW90 (94×51 cm) optional roller cushions are independently upholstered in Category A, B, D, or F fabrics.
  • Fabric Upholstery — Category A through F: All units and optional cushions available in four fabric categories, each including multiple individual options.
  • Made in Italy — Cattelan Italia.

Central Units 78–234 cm are standard seating modules of increasing width, all sharing 104 cm depth (except 91 cm and 117 cm at 117 cm depth). Curved Central Unit 117 cm is the angled corner module — specify Left or Right orientation (see below). Chaise Longue Unit 156 cm is the backless deep chaise extension at 117×156 cm. Back cushion count increases with unit width: single cushion on units up to 117 cm, two cushions on 156 cm and 208 cm units, three cushions on the 234 cm unit.

Orientation

Orientation applies to the Curved Central Unit 117 cm only. All standard Central Units and the Chaise Longue Unit are orientation-neutral and do not require an orientation selection.
Left Left Curved Central Unit 117 cm — curved angle faces left within the composition.
Right Right Curved Central Unit 117 cm — curved angle faces right within the composition.

Orientation is determined when viewed from the front of the sofa. Left means the curved section angles toward the left; Right means it angles toward the right. Please confirm orientation carefully before ordering — this affects how the unit connects within your composition.

Cover Upholstery

Materials & Construction

Gibson Modular Architecture — Unit-by-Unit Assembly

The Gibson Central & Chaise Units are the core modular components of the Gibson system, designed to connect directly with Gibson Armrest & Backrest Modules to form complete sofa ends. Units connect along continuous upholstered junctions with no visible transitions. The consistent 104–117 cm seat depth and 42 cm seat height are maintained across every unit in the system, ensuring that any combination of units produces a seamless, unified seating surface throughout the composition.

Curved Central Unit — Corner Connector Module

The Curved Central Unit 117 cm is the Gibson system’s corner connector, introducing an angled transition between straight seating runs in L-shaped and multi-directional compositions. At 117 cm wide and 104 cm deep with a 81×60 cm back cushion, it maintains full seating function through the corner. Left and Right orientations allow the curved angle to face in either direction within the composition, and the unit is compatible with all standard Central Units and Armrest & Backrest Modules on both connecting sides.

Chaise Longue Unit — Deep Backless Extension

The Chaise Longue Unit 156 cm (117W × 156D cm) extends any Gibson composition into an L-shaped or peninsula arrangement by adding a generous backless chaise section. At 156 cm deep it provides a full recline position. The unit connects directly to any Central Unit along its 117 cm width, and its 42 cm seat height is consistent with the rest of the Gibson system. One 94×60 cm back cushion is included as a side support element; no back panel is present on this unit.

Dimensions

Nine module configurations plus three optional Cushion with Roller sizes. All units share 90 cm overall height, 63 cm back height (except Chaise Longue), and 42 cm seat height. Depths are 104 cm (standard) or 117 cm (91 cm and 117 cm units); Chaise Longue is 156 cm deep.
