Tobia Scarpa Three Seater Sofa by Cassina
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Three Seater Sofa model Soriana designed by Tobia Scarpa in 1969. Manufactured by Cassina in Italy. A design armchair with soft, generous contours, designed to bring home casual, sophisticated comfort that opens the door to new, freer lifestyles. The idea for this armchair that changed the face of upholstered furniture belongs to Afra and Tobia Scarpa, who designed it in 1969, starting with the new possibilities offered by the forming of polyurethane foam to create an unconventional look of leisure. With a vise-like grip, the metal structure holds the armchair, with its biodegradable internal padding that, for the first time ever, needs no internal support, intensifying the comfort level of this upholstered chair in the most freeing sense of the word. Materials: Metal Fabric Important information regarding images of products: Please note that some of the images show other colors and variations of the model, these images are only to present interior design proposals. The item that is selling is on the first image. Important information regarding color(s) of products: Actual colors may vary.

We try to edit our photos to show all of our products as life-like as possible, but please understand the actual color may vary slightly from your monitor About the designer: Architect and designer Tobia Scarpa graduated in 1969 at the University of Venice and in the same year won a “Compasso d’Oro” prize for his “Soriana” armchair designed for Cassina. He has since been awarded many other design prizes and many of his designs can also be found on show in some of the world’s key museums, including his ‘Libertà’ chair...

Rare Coupé Bed Frame by Mario Bellini for Cassina, Italy, 1976
Located in Conversano, IT
Rare and elegant "Coupé" daybed or bed frame designed by Mario Bellini and produced by Cassina in 1976. This piece features a minimal yet sophisticated structure, defined by soft lines and harmonious proportions. The design conveys a sense of lightness and elegance, with gently curved shapes outlining the headboard and side panels. The structure is upholstered in a light-colored fabric - likely linen or raw cotton - tightly fitted around the frame, highlighting the clean aesthetic. Leather-trimmed seams and exposed zippers serve as both functional and decorative elements, allowing the piece to be disassembled with ease and showcasing its refined craftsmanship. The wavy silhouette of the headboard and sides creates a welcoming, cocoon-like effect, almost embracing the sleeper within. The piece rests on discreet black feet, elevating it just enough to enhance its floating, airy presence. The mattress support consists of a tight mesh metal base, ensuring breathability and ergonomic comfort. It is designed to fit a standard European single mattress (80 × 190 cm). The Coupe bed's clean and timeless design makes it suitable for both classic and contemporary interiors, whether in a bedroom or a sophisticated living area. The name "Coupé" references horse-drawn carriages - reflecting Bellini's desire to link elite design with historical memory and everyday life. The piece will be shipped disassembled to reduce transportation costs. Please note: This item is in a very good vintage condition. Minor signs of age may be present but do not affect its functionality. We kindly ask you to consider these characteristics prior to purchase. Dimensions Mattress size (internal): 80 × 190 cm (31.5 × 74.8 in) Overall height: 70 cm (27.6 in) Width: 215 cm (84.6 in) Depth: 90 cm (35.4 in) Keywords: Mario Bellini Bed - Coupé Daybed Cassina - 1970s Italian Bed...

Unique Chairs, Sofas and Other Seating for Sale on 1stDibs

With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.

Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.

Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.

The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.

Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.

With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.

Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames. Shop our inventory of Egg chairs, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, the Florence Knoll lounge chair and more.

No matter your style, the collection of unique chairs, sofas and other seating on 1stDibs is surely worthy of a standing ovation.
