Instantly recognisable by its sculptural mouth-shaped silhouette, the
Bocca-inspired sofa by Diiiz takes its cues from one of the
most distinctive pieces of 1970s Italian design.
With its bold curves and generous 210 cm width, this
2-seater designer sofa is made to become a focal point in the room rather
than simply blend into the background.
Red remains the colour most closely associated with the Bocca design, but
the Diiiz version is made to order and can be customised in
hundreds of colours and upholstery options.
Red, pink, beige, green, blue, black or a shade selected for a specific
interior project: each sofa can be configured to suit the space, colour
palette or visual identity you have in mind.

Which upholstery should you choose for your Bocca-inspired sofa?
Each Diiiz Bocca-inspired sofa is made to order and can be finished in a
choice of upholstery families, allowing the same sculptural shape to take on
very different looks.
Houndstooth fabrics
Our houndstooth options are made from durable polyester and feature the
distinctive two-tone pattern associated with this classic textile.
Washable and hard-wearing, houndstooth gives the sofa a more graphic,
fashion-led character and works particularly well with its bold curved
silhouette.
Premium upholstery fabrics
Our premium fabrics are designed for furniture and seating that may be used
regularly.
Depending on the selected reference, features can include:
- high resistance to everyday wear;
- easy-care properties;
- a Martindale rating above 50,000 cycles;
- SGS-tested fire resistance on selected fabrics.
These upholstery options are particularly well suited to frequently used
residential spaces and selected professional interior projects.
Washable cashmere-effect microfibre
This upholstery is a cashmere-effect microfibre.
It does not contain animal cashmere.
The fabric combines a soft, refined feel with good durability, making it an
appealing choice for interiors where both texture and practicality matter.
Its smooth, warm finish also softens the visual impact of the sofa's
sculptural shape.
Genuine leather
The Bocca-inspired sofa can also be upholstered in
genuine leather, available at an additional cost.
Natural leather develops its own character over time, gradually acquiring a
patina that makes each piece unique.
Vegan leather
Vegan leather offers an animal-free alternative with the visual character of
leather and straightforward everyday care.
It is available in a broad range of colours, making it particularly suitable
for customised residential and commercial projects.
Hundreds of colours to create your own version
A Bocca-inspired sofa does not have to be red.
While the red lips sofa remains the most recognisable
interpretation of this design, Diiiz offers hundreds of colour and upholstery
combinations.
You could choose, for example:
- an iconic red statement sofa;
- a pink version with a playful Pop Art feel;
- a graphic black finish;
- a softer beige or cream upholstery;
- a bold colour for a hotel, restaurant or retail space;
- a specific shade chosen to match a brand or interior design concept.
Genuine leather is available at an additional cost.
Order up to 8 free fabric samples
Choosing upholstery from a screen alone can be difficult. Colour,
texture and finish can look very different depending on natural light,
artificial lighting and the surrounding materials in your room.
Diiiz therefore offers
up to 8 free fabric samples per customer.
This allows you to compare colours and textures in your own home or directly
within an interior design project before placing your order.

What is the story behind the Bocca sofa?
The original Bocca sofa was created in 1970 by Italian
design collective Studio65 for Gufram.
Its mouth-shaped form emerged from Italy's Radical Design movement and from
the wider influence of Surrealism on art, interiors and furniture design.
The concept is also associated with Salvador Dalí's work based on the face of
actress Mae West and her famously expressive red lips.
Its unmistakable silhouette helped the Bocca become one of the most
recognisable pieces of 20th-century Italian furniture design.
The model sold by Diiiz is
inspired by this celebrated design.
It is not the original Bocca sofa produced by Gufram. It is a model made for
Diiiz, with extensive options for custom colours and upholstery.

This distinction makes it clear that the
historic Studio65 Bocca and the customisable Diiiz model
are not the same product.
Why choose the Diiiz Bocca-inspired sofa?
One of the main advantages of the Diiiz model is the freedom to customise it
around your own interior rather than being limited to one finish.
The sofa can be configured with:
- multiple upholstery collections;
- hundreds of colours;
- genuine leather;
- vegan leather;
- premium upholstery fabrics;
- cashmere-effect microfibre;
- graphic fabrics such as houndstooth.
This gives you the distinctive visual impact of a Bocca-inspired
statement sofa while allowing the upholstery to work with
the rest of your interior.
Where can you use a Bocca-inspired sofa?
Thanks to its sculptural form, this lip-shaped sofa works particularly well
as a statement piece in spaces where furniture is part of
the visual identity.
In a living room
The sofa can become the focal point of a contemporary, eclectic, Pop Art or
1970s-inspired living room.
In red, it creates a particularly strong contrast against neutral interiors
built around white, cream, grey, black or natural materials.
In a bedroom or dressing room
Its sculptural design also works as an occasional seat in a spacious
bedroom, walk-in wardrobe or fashion-led interior.
In a hotel lobby
The instantly recognisable silhouette makes it an interesting choice for
hotels, reception areas and lounges looking for memorable statement
furniture.
In a restaurant or bar
Used as lounge seating or as a visual feature, the sofa can add personality
to a restaurant, cocktail bar or hospitality concept.
Its unusual shape also makes it particularly effective in areas designed to
be photographed and shared.
In a shop or showroom
Fashion, beauty, design, interiors and art spaces can all use the sofa as a
strong visual element within a retail concept or showroom.
For events and photoshoots
The sculptural design also works well for:
- photoshoots;
- set design;
- window displays;
- events;
- product launches;
- temporary installations and pop-up spaces.
A statement sofa for interior designers and professional projects
The Diiiz Bocca-inspired sofa can be specified for a wide range of
professional and contract interior projects, including:
- hotels;
- restaurants;
- bars;
- retail spaces;
- offices;
- showrooms;
- event spaces;
- interior architecture projects;
- interior design projects.
The wide choice of colours and upholstery makes it easier to coordinate the
sofa with a brand identity, colour scheme or wider interior concept.

How to care for your Bocca-inspired sofa
Care requirements depend on the upholstery you select.
Polyester and premium upholstery fabrics
Vacuum the fabric regularly using an upholstery attachment to prevent dust
and particles from building up.
If a spill occurs, deal with it promptly using a clean, slightly damp cloth
and a cleaning product suitable for the specific upholstery.
Avoid soaking the fabric.
Cashmere-effect microfibre
Regularly remove dust using a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner fitted with an
upholstery attachment.
Marks and spills should be treated gently without excessive rubbing.
Genuine leather
Dust the leather regularly with a soft cloth and use only care products
designed specifically for genuine leather.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or strong heat sources whenever
possible.
Vegan leather
For routine cleaning, a soft, slightly damp cloth will usually be sufficient.
Avoid abrasive sponges, solvents and aggressive cleaning products.
Exact care requirements may vary depending on the upholstery selected.
Always follow the recommendations provided for your chosen material.

Why choose the Diiiz Bocca-inspired sofa?
One of the main advantages of the Diiiz model is the freedom to customise it
around your own interior rather than being limited to one finish.
The sofa can be configured with:
- multiple upholstery collections;
- hundreds of colours;
- genuine leather;
- vegan leather;
- premium upholstery fabrics;
- cashmere-effect microfibre;
- graphic fabrics such as houndstooth.
This gives you the distinctive visual impact of a Bocca-inspired
statement sofa while allowing the upholstery to work with
the rest of your interior.
Where can you use a Bocca-inspired sofa?
Thanks to its sculptural form, this lip-shaped sofa works particularly well
as a statement piece in spaces where furniture is part of
the visual identity.
In a living room
The sofa can become the focal point of a contemporary, eclectic, Pop Art or
1970s-inspired living room.
In red, it creates a particularly strong contrast against neutral interiors
built around white, cream, grey, black or natural materials.
In a bedroom or dressing room
Its sculptural design also works as an occasional seat in a spacious
bedroom, walk-in wardrobe or fashion-led interior.
In a hotel lobby
The instantly recognisable silhouette makes it an interesting choice for
hotels, reception areas and lounges looking for memorable statement
furniture.
In a restaurant or bar
Used as lounge seating or as a visual feature, the sofa can add personality
to a restaurant, cocktail bar or hospitality concept.
Its unusual shape also makes it particularly effective in areas designed to
be photographed and shared.
In a shop or showroom
Fashion, beauty, design, interiors and art spaces can all use the sofa as a
strong visual element within a retail concept or showroom.
For events and photoshoots
The sculptural design also works well for:
- photoshoots;
- set design;
- window displays;
- events;
- product launches;
- temporary installations and pop-up spaces.
A statement sofa for interior designers and professional projects
The Diiiz Bocca-inspired sofa can be specified for a wide range of
professional and contract interior projects, including:
- hotels;
- restaurants;
- bars;
- retail spaces;
- offices;
- showrooms;
- event spaces;
- interior architecture projects;
- interior design projects.
The wide choice of colours and upholstery makes it easier to coordinate the
sofa with a brand identity, colour scheme or wider interior concept.

How to care for your Bocca-inspired sofa
Care requirements depend on the upholstery you select.
Polyester and premium upholstery fabrics
Vacuum the fabric regularly using an upholstery attachment to prevent dust
and particles from building up.
If a spill occurs, deal with it promptly using a clean, slightly damp cloth
and a cleaning product suitable for the specific upholstery.
Avoid soaking the fabric.
Cashmere-effect microfibre
Regularly remove dust using a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner fitted with an
upholstery attachment.
Marks and spills should be treated gently without excessive rubbing.
Genuine leather
Dust the leather regularly with a soft cloth and use only care products
designed specifically for genuine leather.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or strong heat sources whenever
possible.

For routine cleaning, a soft, slightly damp cloth will usually be sufficient.

Which upholstery should you choose for your Bocca-inspired sofa?
Each Diiiz Bocca-inspired sofa is made to order and can be finished in a
choice of upholstery families, allowing the same sculptural shape to take on
very different looks.
Houndstooth fabrics
Our houndstooth options are made from durable polyester and feature the
distinctive two-tone pattern associated with this classic textile.
Washable and hard-wearing, houndstooth gives the sofa a more graphic,
fashion-led character and works particularly well with its bold curved
silhouette.
Premium upholstery fabrics
Our premium fabrics are designed for furniture and seating that may be used
regularly.
Depending on the selected reference, features can include:
- high resistance to everyday wear;
- easy-care properties;
- a Martindale rating above 50,000 cycles;
- SGS-tested fire resistance on selected fabrics.
These upholstery options are particularly well suited to frequently used
residential spaces and selected professional interior projects.
Washable cashmere-effect microfibre
This upholstery is a cashmere-effect microfibre.
It does not contain animal cashmere.
The fabric combines a soft, refined feel with good durability, making it an
appealing choice for interiors where both texture and practicality matter.
Its smooth, warm finish also softens the visual impact of the sofa's
sculptural shape.
Genuine leather
The Bocca-inspired sofa can also be upholstered in
genuine leather, available at an additional cost.
Natural leather develops its own character over time, gradually acquiring a
patina that makes each piece unique.
Vegan leather
Vegan leather offers an animal-free alternative with the visual character of
leather and straightforward everyday care.
It is available in a broad range of colours, making it particularly suitable
for customised residential and commercial projects.
Hundreds of colours to create your own version
A Bocca-inspired sofa does not have to be red.
While the red lips sofa remains the most recognisable
interpretation of this design, Diiiz offers hundreds of colour and upholstery
combinations.
You could choose, for example:
- an iconic red statement sofa;
- a pink version with a playful Pop Art feel;
- a graphic black finish;
- a softer beige or cream upholstery;
- a bold colour for a hotel, restaurant or retail space;
- a specific shade chosen to match a brand or interior design concept.
Genuine leather is available at an additional cost.
Order up to 8 free fabric samples
Choosing upholstery from a screen alone can be difficult. Colour,
texture and finish can look very different depending on natural light,
artificial lighting and the surrounding materials in your room.
Diiiz therefore offers
up to 8 free fabric samples per customer.
This allows you to compare colours and textures in your own home or directly
within an interior design project before placing your order.
To request your samples,
contact the Diiiz team.
What is the story behind the Bocca sofa?
The original Bocca sofa was created in 1970 by Italian
design collective Studio65 for Gufram.
Its mouth-shaped form emerged from Italy's Radical Design movement and from
the wider influence of Surrealism on art, interiors and furniture design.
The concept is also associated with Salvador Dalí's work based on the face of
actress Mae West and her famously expressive red lips.
Its unmistakable silhouette helped the Bocca become one of the most
recognisable pieces of 20th-century Italian furniture design.
The model sold by Diiiz is
inspired by this celebrated design.
It is not the original Bocca sofa produced by Gufram. It is a model made for
Diiiz, with extensive options for custom colours and upholstery.
