About the Item

A refined example of mid-century Italian sofa design, this 1950s two-seater captures the sculptural elegance and innovation that defined postwar Italian modernism. Its enveloping backrest and gracefully curved arms form a fluid, organic silhouette—at once inviting and sophisticated. Upholstered in Pierre Frey’s Chroma Toffee mohair velvet, the sofa radiates depth and warmth, with a subtle sheen that highlights the sensuality of its contours. A single, tailored seat cushion preserves the purity of the line-work while providing comfort. Resting on tapered, splayed brass legs, the piece achieves a striking lightness. This architectural lift reflects the influence of masters such as Marco Zanuso and Gio Ponti, whose designs seamlessly merged sculptural softness with technical precision during Italy’s golden design era. Meticulously restored by master artisans, this rare mid-century Italian sofa is a statement of quiet glamour and timeless taste—perfect for refined interiors that celebrate form, history, and material richness. - Materials Brass legs, Chroma Toffee Velvet by Maison Pierre Frey - Dimensions W 59 in. x D 32.3 in. x H 34.6 in. - Condition Excellent restored condition
