Ignazio Gardella Digamma Three-seater white velvet sofa for Azucena, Italy, 1957
By Ignazio Gardella, Azucena
Located in Chiavari, Liguria
Three-seater white velvet sofa with metal and brass, Digamma model designed by Ignazio Gardella for Gavina in 1957.
The extraordinary elegance of the Digamma three-seater sofa, created in 1957 by Ignazio Gardella for Gavina, is revealed through a surprising combination of materials and futuristic design. The carefully crafted metal structure supports the upholstered part of the sofa, creating a perfect balance between form and functionality.
The distinctive signature of Ignazio Gardella, a renowned designer and visionary engineer, is evident in the curved brass terminals on which the sofa gracefully rests. His architectural conception, bridging art and design, is reflected in every detail of this unique piece.
The Gavina brand introduced the Digamma collection in 1957, ushering in a new approach to seating that goes beyond traditional forms of sofas and armchairs. The series, of which this extraordinary sofa is a part, features square and rational volumes, demonstrating an exceptional level of innovation for its time.
Today, the sofa is in excellent condition, meticulously restored in upholstery and adorned with a light-shaded velvet covering that enhances its intrinsic beauty. Its dimensions of 197x82,5x81 make it ideal for comfortably accommodating three people, offering a seating experience that combines style and comfort without compromise. A functional work of art, Ignazio Gardella's Digamma Sofa...

Ignazio Gardella 'Digamma' Armchair in Emerald Green Lelièvre Fabric and Brass
By Lelièvre Paris, Santa & Cole, Ignazio Gardella
Located in The Hague, NL
Designed by Ignazio Gardella in 1957, the Digamma lounge chair is a comfortable chair with roots in the late Italian modernist tradition.
Its rational construction features two geometric sections - the rectangular upholstered back and seat - bound by a firm upholstered frame. The black metallic legs are finished off with Gardella's iconic brass 'duck' feet. The armchair has a three-position reclining backrest offering additional comfort and adjustability.
This chair is a custom version realized by Santa & Cole for Kabinet Hubert, upholstered and sewn by hand in an emerald green Lelièvre fabric. This soft and dense fabric is a delicate combination of chenille and bouclé yarns.
Ignazio Gardella was a member of the so-called third generation of the Modern Movement. He is considered one of the greatest exponents of Italian Rationalism, although he followed its principles in a much more personal way, searching to overcome its limitations. In 1957, he created the Digamma armchair...

Ignazio Gardella, L Sofa
By Ignazio Gardella
Located in London, England
Ignazio Gardella (1905–1999) was an Italian architect and designer known for his significant contributions to the modernist and rationalist movements in architecture and design. The Rationalist architectural movement emphasized functionality, simplicity, and the use of new materials. His work often featured clean lines, geometric forms, and an emphasis on the integration of interior and exterior spaces.
One of Gardella's most famous works is the Casa alle Zattere, a residential building in Venice designed in the late 1940s. This building is considered a masterpiece of modernist architecture and showcases his innovative approach to space and materials. He also designed the Olivetti showroom in Milan in 1957, which is another iconic example of his architectural style.
