About the Item
A rare collaboration between Finnish designer Ilmari Tapiovaara and Italian manufacturer Paolo Arnaboldi, this 1970s three-seater sofa exemplifies the fusion of Nordic clarity with Mediterranean craftsmanship. The piece features a solid wood frame with gently rounded edges, supporting a broad seat and backrest composed of hand-woven, cognac-toned leather straps arranged in a sculptural grid.
The natural tonal variations in the leather add warmth, richness, and textural depth, while the clean-lined frame underscores Tapiovaara’s refined functionalism. The suspended seat offers soft, flexible comfort that adapts over time, developing a deep, expressive patina and aging beautifully with use.
At once sculptural and grounded, this rare and timeless sofa reflects the synergy of two design cultures—balancing rustic materiality with architectural precision, proportion, and elegance.
