composizioni chiuse

Italian to English Other Furniture / Household Appliances description of a sofa
In the description of a modular sofa. Does anyone know what this means? And how to say it in English?
I have found "closed compositions" in descriptions of cabinets and bookcases where it appears to mean they have doors on all or part of the unit. However, I'm not sure how to translate this with reference to a sofa unless it means the modular pieces come pre-arranged and cannot be switched around?

UPDATE: after clarification from the client, we decided to use ***pre-defined composition*** as, in this particular case, it refers to a modular grouping that cannot be changed or rearranged. Hoping this might be of help to someone else in the future.

Phil - Sorry, but it was just a list of types.
Shilpa and Martini - your responses were amazing. Thank you so much for the extremely helpful links. It looks like the expression is a literal "closed" compositions. Wishing you all a good weekend.

This may help https://www.swanitaly.com/divani/le-nuvole/?lang=it

"Le Nuvole permette la creazione di composizioni custom, sia chiuse sia aperte con alternanza di pieni e vuoti, tramite l’inserimento di pouf tra le sedute, per una zona living a propria misura."

"Closed" appears to be when it makes a closed structure with backrests/armrests and "open" when you have a pouf at one of the ends.
