Alberto Rosselli Saporiti Sofas

Brown leather three-seater sofa by Alberto Rosselli for Saporiti's Confidential collection. Matching armchair available, sold separately. Alberto Rosselli (1921–1976) was an Italian architect, designer, editor, and critic whose influence extended well beyond furniture. Trained as an architect, he was deeply embedded in postwar Italian design culture, working closely with figures such as Gio Ponti and contributing to the intellectual framing of modern design through his role as co-founder and long-time editor of Domus.
