In the landscape of Italian furniture, Baxter stands out for its ability to transform leather into a work of contemporary art. Founded in 1990 in Brianza by Luigi and Paolo Bestetti, the company has carved a niche in the high-end interior market thanks to its distinctive aesthetic language—tactile, emotional, and precise. Among the most beloved and recognizable pieces from the brand, Baxter’s sofas hold a place of honor, representing exceptional craftsmanship and a design that transcends time and trends.

The Budapest sofa by Paola Navone is arguably the most emblematic piece of
Baxter’s style. As the first model ever produced by the brand, it embodies the
perfect balance between formal rigor and inviting softness. Its generous
proportions, solid structure, and expertly treated Plume leather—hand-finished
to enhance its natural imperfections—give the sofa a strong yet relaxed
character. Ideal for both residential and contract spaces, Budapest is now
available in multiple configurations, finishes, and color options, expanding
its design versatility.

Reinterpreting a design icon without compromising its identity is a complex challenge. Baxter rises to the occasion with Chestermoon, a contemporary takes on the classic Chesterfield sofa.
Chestermoon features an all-over capitonné surface, executed in a softer, more fluid way that breaks away from the stiffness of the 19th-century original. Deep seating and plush upholstery offer ultimate relaxation.

Viktor embodies Baxter’s philosophy at its most welcoming: a modular sofa with generous depth, oversized cushions, and a refined color palette—designed for laid-back living with a strong aesthetic
presence.

What unites all Baxter sofas is the extraordinary quality of their natural leather, selected and processed using exclusive tanning methods. Every imperfection is left visible as an authentic trace of the raw material. The leather is not corrected, but rather enhanced—it ages gracefully, gaining character over time. This sartorial approach results in one-of-a-kind pieces that tell a visual and tactile story. Baxter sofas are not just furniture items—they are soft sculptures that redefine the concept of comfort and style. From iconic models like Budapest and Chestermoon to the latest releases in the Baxter collection, the Italian brand continues to set trends in international interior design. An invitation to embrace a slower, refined, and deeper way of living.
