101domus Welcomes Ulivi: Italian Luxury Sofas and Upholstery from Tuscany

101domus is pleased to welcome Ulivi, the Tuscan upholstery house based near Pisa, to its marketplace of Italian luxury design. The arrival is official: Ulivi sofas, armchairs, beds, poufs, coffee tables, dining tables and chairs are now presented on 101domus for interior designers, architects, FF&E buyers, developers and private clients who are looking for Italian luxury sofas with a clear craft identity, generous proportions and the warmth of natural materials.

Ulivi Salotti works in the Tuscan tradition of upholstered furniture, where leather, fine fabrics, solid wood and marble are combined with a contemporary sense of line. The house is best known for its sofas and armchairs, but its catalogue extends well beyond seating: beds, benches, poufs, tables, chairs and bookcases allow a designer to furnish a whole living area from a single source. For professionals this matters, because a sofa is rarely chosen on its own. It is chosen in relation to the coffee table in front of it, the armchair beside it and the rug underneath, and a manufacturer that offers coordinated pieces makes that exercise much easier at specification stage.

This is the kind of supplier 101domus follows closely for private residences, where the living room is often the first space to be defined. The character of Ulivi is classic-contemporary rather than trend-driven: shapes are soft, volumes are comfortable and materials are chosen to age well, which suits clients who want a home that feels lived in as well as beautiful. The brand is conceived for indoor, residential interiors, and designers should read it in that way when they build a specification.

Four collections: Connections 2026, Emotive, Vanity and Collection 2024

The Ulivi offer on 101domus is organised in four collections, each with its own page and its own photographs. The Connections 2026 collection is the most recent and the most richly illustrated: a broad family of upholstered pieces conceived to work together, so that sofas, armchairs and complementary elements can be combined in the same room without losing coherence. The Emotive collection shows the softer side of the house, with details that can be personalised and with timber available in different colourings, which widens the options for each product.

The Vanity collection adds a further voice to the catalogue and is worth reviewing alongside the others when a project calls for a slightly different mood. Finally, the Collection 2024 gathers models that define the recent catalogue of the house and remains a reliable starting point for designers who want to see the core Ulivi language before moving on to the newer series.

Sofas and armchairs for living rooms with presence

The sofa is where Ulivi is most convincing. The Barnaby sofa is a contemporary piece with generous proportions, upholstered in leather over a metal structure with solid wood inserts, with cushions padded with natural goose feathers and foam of different densities. It measures 240 x 100 x 90 cm, the end caps are available in different finishes, and hand-made braided arm pillows of 70 x 50 cm can be added as an option. For larger rooms the Barnaby lounge sofa extends the same language into a more relaxed, deeper seat.

The Persival 3-seater sofa and the Persival 2-seater sofa give a designer two proportions of the same model, which is useful when a living room needs a main sofa and a smaller companion. To complete the conversation area, the Marygold armchair offers a more compact, sculptural presence that can sit opposite the sofa or be grouped in pairs.

Beds, poufs, tables and chairs

A living room is more than its seating, and Ulivi covers the rest of the scene. The Manon luxury pouf works as an extra seat or as a footrest in front of an armchair. The coffee tables, Vanille, Kirby round, Kirby square and Pascal, give the designer a choice of shapes, from round to square, to match the geometry of the sofa arrangement.

In the dining area the Isolde dining table and the Nadine chair make a coordinated pair. In the bedroom the Elodie bed, the Elodie bench and the Rocky night table allow the same material language to continue from the living room to the sleeping area, which is the simplest way to give a private residence a unified feeling.

Leather, wood and the question of personalisation

What makes Ulivi interesting for professionals is the way it uses natural materials. The house works mainly with vegetable-tanned leather, fine fabrics, solid wood and marble, and the Barnaby sofa is a good example of the construction logic: metal structure, wood inserts, natural feather padding and a leather cover. Materials of this kind reward careful specification, because the choice of hide, colour and finish changes the character of a piece far more than its shape.

On personalisation, the house speaks of customisable details, of timber in different colourings that widen the options for each product, and of custom finishes for metal parts. It does not declare a made-to-measure or contract service, and the brand is indoor and residential in its positioning, so the extent of what can be adapted depends on the model and on the project. The specifics of each commission are best confirmed during the specification phase, together with the 101domus team.

Why Ulivi matters to the 101domus network

For the architects, designers and buyers who use 101domus across the Gulf, Central Asia, Eastern Europe and beyond, the arrival of Ulivi adds a Tuscan upholstery specialist with four distinct collections and a catalogue that covers living, dining and sleeping areas. The complete range is gathered on the Ulivi brand page, where each model can be reviewed, compared with other brands on the platform and brought into a specification. The newsroom will follow the brand with further articles on individual collections and on the interiors in which its furniture can be used.
