panchetto convertible sofa designed by Rito Valla for IPE Bologna 1960s
About the Item
1960ies „Panchetto“ convertible sofa, designed by Italian sculptor Rita Valla in 1961
Manufactured by IPE Bologna.
With it’s weight and dimensions the „Panchetto“ sofa perfectly easily adapts to various interior and social situations. With just one move the backrest can be pulled out and downward to easily transform it into a full size daybed.
Albeit it’s great functionality and minimalist appearance Rito Valla did very well designing this beautiful seating furniture. With its slight angle in the two-part corresponding so beautifully with the proportions of the whole he invented a rather unique piece of furniture. All parts correspond perfectly to form the panchetto.
Italian sculptor Rito Valla designed few pieces of furniture for IPE Bologna in the early 1960ies. The company was early on experimenting with the then new materials that transformed the shape of furniture in this fruitfull period. In his sculprures Rito Valla was a part of the expressionist Novocento movement, that strongly intended to move forward with traditional sculptural practices and ideals. In his furniture, probably, he was more inventive - which the panchetto chair as one of the results.
The sofa had been reupholstered a few years ago in a grey wool fabric. The sofa shows few signs of use and wear, metal base with partial corrosion.
Reupholstery in a fabric of your choice is possible on request, reupholstery costs are not included in this price !
