A striking example of mid-century Italian design, this 1950s two-seater sofa captures the elegance and innovation that defined the era. With its sculptural form, refined proportions, and luxurious materials, the piece embodies the sophisticated spirit of postwar Italian modernism.
The sofa’s enveloping backrest and gently curved arms create a fluid, organic silhouette that is both inviting and refined. Upholstered in a golden ochre mohair velvet, the piece radiates warmth and depth, while the fabric’s subtle sheen enhances the sensuality of its form. The single seat cushion adds comfort without disrupting the purity of the linework.
The design rests on tapered, splayed brass legs—delicate yet strong—which elevate the silhouette and give the piece its signature lightness. This architectural lift echoes the influence of designers like Marco Zanuso and Gio Ponti, who pioneered the marriage of sculptural softness with technical precision during this golden age of Italian furniture making.
Meticulously restored by master artisans, this rare sofa is a statement of quiet glamour and timeless taste—perfect for refined interiors that celebrate form, history, and material richness.
