About the Item
Italian Modern two-seat sofa in the style of Marco Zanuso, Europe, 1970s, featuring a sculptural bentwood frame and original upholstery; reupholstery recommended.
This sculptural Italian Modern two-seat sofa in the style of Marco Zanuso, produced in Europe during the 1970s, exemplifies the expressive modernist language and ergonomic sensibility associated with Italian design of the period.
The sofa is constructed with a bentwood frame, defined by flowing curved armrests and legs that create a continuous, architectural silhouette. The organic shaping and balanced proportions reflect the experimental approach to form and function that characterizes European modern furniture from the late 1960s and 1970s, closely aligned with the design vocabulary associated with Marco Zanuso.
The sofa retains its original upholstery, preserving its authentic period character. The fabric shows visible wear and patina consistent with age and use. For contemporary living, contract use, or interior design projects, reupholstery is recommended, offering excellent potential for customization. The piece is particularly well suited for bouclé, velvet, wool, or COM (Customer’s Own Material), making it highly appealing for US interior designers and hospitality projects.
Structurally, the sofa is sound and stable, with a strong bentwood frame showing a warm patina and minor age-related marks that enhance its character without detracting from usability. The proportions remain comfortable and visually balanced, suitable for both residential and curated professional interiors.
A distinctive European Italian Modern sofa from the 1970s, ideal for collectors, architects, and interior designers seeking a sculptural seating piece with strong presence. Perfect for high-end residential interiors, boutique hotels, lounges, and curated design projects where originality, period authenticity, and upholstery customization are key.
