Each 'Corbi' element is composed of two independent Minimalist sculptural forms, one base element and one cylindrical seat back. With the base elements positioned end to end, day beds may...

The two pieces of each seat, themselves quasi-sculptural forms, are upholstered a very short pile oatmeal matte velvet. From them it is possible to create a sofa, three separate seats or a daybed. Its production was limited to the years 1972-1974 and was a small-scale affair, making these a highly collectable example of twentieth century design...
