About the Item

This Italian sofa bed dates from the 1950s and features a black lacquered metal structure combined with a handcrafted velvet upholstery. Designed during the mid-century modern period, the piece reflects the functional and clean-lined aesthetic characteristic of Italian modernist furniture of the era. The sofa is upholstered in textured black velvet with a large-scale houndstooth pattern, which introduces subtle graphic contrast while maintaining a restrained and elegant appearance. The upholstery has been applied by hand, enhancing both comfort and durability. The metal frame provides structural stability and reinforces the sofa’s architectural profile. Designed as a convertible sofa bed, the piece combines seating and sleeping functionality, making it suitable for both living spaces and guest rooms. Its proportions and low seat height contribute to a relaxed yet structured seating experience. Produced in Italy, the sofa remains a representative example of 1950s Italian design, combining practical construction with refined material choices. The piece is suitable for mid-century interiors as well as curated contemporary settings.
