About the Item
A curved sofa in wood and fabric, velvet upholstery, Italian craftsmanship, in the style of Gio Ponti, 1950s.
Comfort demands curved lines, and this Italian sofa perfectly meets the needs of the modern home, where aesthetics and comfort must harmoniously coexist. We present a sofa with an appealing and playful design, captivating in its banana-shaped form. And while the expensive banana taped to the wall might have already been devoured by its hungry owner, appreciating this elegant sofa is certainly no consolation prize—it is far more durable and undeniably more comfortable to sit on than Cattelan's provocative artwork.
This deconstructed, fluid piece invites leisure and offers a sense of softness. Its design reflects the influence of Gio Ponti, the renowned Italian architect who mastered the art of creating a distinct and instantly recognizable style. The sofa is built on a sturdy internal wooden frame, upholstered with cushions and fabric. The velvet chosen for the upholstery is a deep, vibrant shade of blue—a bold color that highlights the sofa's shape while effortlessly complementing any interior.
The sofa stands on a series of sculpted, conical wooden legs, a detail that adds a sense of lightness to its aesthetic while underscoring its distinguished design lineage. This piece is perfect for completing the decor of a living room or creating a cozy relaxation corner in an office.
The sofa has undergone a comprehensive restoration of its structure and upholstery to ensure its longevity.
