About the Item

The postwar boom years of the 1950s through to the 1960s were one of the periods of the greatest influence of Italian designers. Design in the 50s paved a way to a more aesthetic approach to products as opposed to more utilitarian predecessors, resulting in exceptional pieces like this piece. This bench features elegant and measured proportions, balanced compositions, and refined décor elements including the choice of materials. The outline is quite sculptural, with characteristic curved shapes. The details set the piece apart from most benches and sofas, and transforms it into a statement piece which can break the monotony of any space. The seats are upholstered in a high-quality fabric that exudes both comfort and luxury, with a soft textural feel that invites relaxation. The stained dark colour stands out beautifully against the upholstery and emphasizes the slim shape of the backrest. With a clear preoccupation with geometry, this model’s outstanding architectural frame speaks of the mastery of the designer and of the producer. All the decorative elements are in service of the piece’s functionality. Moreover, the smooth, tapered legs typical of the period, contribute to both a sense of lightness and sturdiness. The Italian craftsmanship that went into creating this piece is nothing short of exceptional. Each part of the bench was carefully crafted, the joinery is also exemplary of the skill of the artisans who meticulously shaped the wood frames to fit seamlessly together. Though many mid-century Italian designers may not have the same name recognition as some of their Scandinavian counterparts, they were integral to developing a modern aesthetic in Europe. The appreciation for their contribution is still growing today, making outstanding Italian pieces like this modular bench highly sought after. Condition: In good vintage condition.
