Mantilla 225 sofa by Kazuhide Takahama for Simon Gavina 1970s

About the Item

The Mantilla sofa suits the space it fits in and is designed as such. With changeable cove, it can be dressed up and easily undressed if it gets dirty, every day in a different cloak. Hence the name Mantilla, referring to its cover. The idea comes from an ancient times: taking care of the furniture of the holiday mansions by covering them with fabrics during the long winter months. The velours cloth is perfectly contoured on the structure and hooked by means of suitable pressure buttons, so that it is easily replaceable. The sofa can be equipped with more than one cloth, thus renewing the look of a room depending on the season, but even for particular events, or used without cloth.
