Modern Upholstery Belly Sofa in Grey Velvet and Polished Brass Foot

In 2013, the Portuguese designer João Bessa founded Bessa, an Art and Design brand that creates functional art pieces (furniture and lighting) based on true stories. In addition to its strong artistic component Bessa´s collection is handcrafted and targeted to high-end interior design projects. In terms of finishes, Bessa´s designs present the highest-level standards found in the market and they are developed with noble materials such as silver, gold, brass, bronze, distinguished marbles, fine wood veneers and precious stones. Designed and produced in Oporto – Portugal, Bessa recovers techniques of craft production to unique pieces and brings back the charm of ancient times, through a new interpretation. “Our exclusive work recreates feelings and stories of other times that seek to build a perfect past. A past full of passionate memories, inspiring feelings of nostalgia.” – João Bessa. Discover our collection of contemporary designs here on 1stdibs.
