Legs in Dark Nickel Color
The core design concept for Model MARINO is to create a power-motion upholstery model that has multi-facets of curved shapes-and-forms. This is to differentiate KELVIN GIORMANI motion sofa design from the others in the market when most motion sofas out there continue the conventional square-look and boxy appearance.

Legs in Dark Nickel Color
The name MARINO (an Italian word meaning “marine”) came from the fact that most marine creatures are born to have curved and streamline body shapes.
Model MARINO skus include a curved connecting unit (item number CC1) that serves two functions, namely, glass table top and internal storage cabinet. The glass table top comes with black or white colors to choose from.
Model Marino’s curved elements include the curved arm design in various facets. While the footrests are closed, they curve inward in a large extend that allows the footrest to be longer than those of most other motion sofas in the market, so that even a person with almost 180cm tall can feel the support at the end of the footrests under his feet.
Motion sofas provide extra-ordinary comfort through advanced power-mechanisms; however, the metal mechanism itself is not so good-looking. Therefore, another design objective that we’d like to achieve through Model MARINO is to let the metal mechanisms to be as hidden as possible.
For Model MARINO’s footrest mechanisms, they are fixed toward the center of the entire upholstered footrests; therefore, when a footrest is open up, the metal mechanisms are less visible in comparing with other motion sofa designs when most of their footrest mechanisms are fixed obviously at the left and right ends of the upholstered footrests.
Model MARINO’s legs comes with 3 optional stainless steel colors, namely, antique brass color (as seen on the photo), dark nickel color and satin stainless steel.
Dark nickel color (as seen on the photo) has becomes a trendy stainless steel color for legs of European contemporary style sofas.
Satin stainless steel finish on sofa legs (as seen on the photo) is always well matching with modern living room interior design.
Model MARINO’s headrest and footrest mechanisms work independently to enable more flexibility for personalizing your most favorite seating angles.
Model MARINO is the best KELVIN GIORMANI power-motion model so far for watching TV while both mechanisms are fully extended (while a couch potato is half-laying on the sofa).
Beside item number CC1, there is another curved connecting unit with item number 1.5CR (the middle unit as seen on the photo) that can be a comfortable single-middle seater (stationary) to connect two motion-recliners at both sides.
The curved-in feature of the footrests also creates extra room under the sofa to allow more design possibility for sofa legs. The curved leg design was inspired by octopus legs which is one of the marine animals’nature. Thanks to the latest advancement of power-motion mechanisms which are getting smaller in sizes. It enables the back-side base of Model MARINO to be trimmed in size and curved inward. The perforated strip on every back rest has added some fashion element to Model MARINO. Perforation is a leather craftsmanship technique that is commonly applied on various leather fashion goods. Being fashion-driven is also a key design concept for KELVIN GIORMANI sofas. At the back side of the Model MARINO’s headrests, the entire metal mechanism is hidden. With MARINO design and KELVIN GIORMANI leather tailoring quality, you can be proud to flow your power-motion sofa in the middle of the living room. It’ll be a waste if Model MARINO’s back is placed against a living room wall. Memory-switch is a new optional feature in Model MARINO. With a minimal extra charge and easy operation, you can experience the convenience of having two memorized seating positions per seat at your choice.
