About the Item

In the 1950s, Italian design took a crucial turn from the technical, formal and artistic point of view. Designers took tips from names in contemporary art and architecture like Alvar Aalto, Marcel Breuer and F. L. Wright. A natural fit, considering that most of the Italian designers were architects and engineers. This sofa aesthetically predates the great industrial era, with a more classic look and materials. With elegance and functionality at the core of the design, there is an unmistakeable Italian vibe to this piece. Like Scandinavian mid-century design, Italian design liked to blend form with function, which is evident here as well. The body is gently curved, with the three seats sectioned with the seat cushions. These give the sofa a cosy and modern look, while also emphasizing the main curve. The design is quite ‘social’ in the sense that it encourages interaction thanks to its shape. At the same time, the design is also very open, which is the result of the absence of armrests and its sheer size. The body is supported by six, symmetrically arranged tapered legs. The wooden legs add a detail that is characteristic of mid-century modernism. Generally, Italian designers like shapes that are very fluid and pleasant. Because of their emotional and suggestive charge, they appear simple and yet complex at the same time. Here, the so-called banana shape, the tapered wooden legs, and the elegant, green velvet upholstery create this charge that is explicitly Italian. Condition: In vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Traces of wear and use. This sofa comes with its original upholstery or has been reupholstered by a previous owner.
