Loveseat Sofa by Claudio Salocchi for Sormani Italy, c 1970, Signed
By Sormani, Claudio Salocchi
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This newly reupholstered loveseat sofa by Claudio Salocchi for Sormani, circa 1970s, features a graceful chrome frame with nubby white bouclé fabric. Signed with 1960s/ 1970s Sormani label as shown in photo gallery.
*Note, we have the matching pair of club chairs available in another listing.
The graceful frame shares a design quality with Cassina's LC2 / LC3 design by Le Corbusier, as they are 'buckets of cushions' in similar fashion and comfort. However this Sormani sofa features some unique subtle details, such as the slight "twist" in the rear legs (see photos).
Signed with a Sormani label, this particular rare design is attributed to Claudio Salocchi. While there were several other famous designers who created works for Sormani in this time period, the style best matches Salocchi's work. For collectors looking for something unique and rare within a collection of 1960s/ 1970s Italian designs, this pair two-seater couch is an amazing opportunity.

Questions About TESSA Furniture Co Sofas
- Who made Tessa furniture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJanuary 27, 2025Tessa furniture was not made by anyone. Rather than a brand produced by a manufacturer, Tessa furniture was a maker in its own right. Fred Lowen, Howard Lindsey and Sigi Danielzik established the company in Melbourne, Australia, in 1968. Although it closed in 2019, Tessa furniture remains well-known for its mid-century modern furnishings. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of vintage furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024To identify TESSA furniture, look for a maker's marking. Virtually all pieces produced by the Australian maker are marked. On tables, you will normally find the brand name under the tabletop, while chairs typically display the name under the seat. For casegoods, check the back, base and drawer interiors. Upholstered furniture will have a tag sewn onto one of its cushions. If you struggle to locate a marking, a certified appraiser or experienced dealer can help you with the identification process. Shop a variety of TESSA furniture on 1stDibs.
