The freestanding furniture solutions, featuring numerous formal and informal seating arrangements – including large sofas and coffee tables that bring guests together in conversation – reveals a design sensibility that understands the art of hospitality. It’s a choice that reflects the tastes and culture of an owner who comes from a city where hospitality is an integral part of the lifestyle.Custom Line 120'#12The launch of the 12th Custom Line 120’ last February 27 is the result of a design effort involving the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, supported by Custom Line Atelier for the interiors.
