About the Item

A rare walnut sofa and armchair by Sapporo for Mobil Girgi, made in the 1970's, Italy. Beautifully designed with angled front legs which extend to the sides and back, the back support is slightly curved.

Made by Sapporo for Mobil Girgi, circa 1970. Even though it looks fine, reupholstery is strongly recommended. Our experienced professional upholsterers can upholster this piece in your favorite fabric upon request. Please do inquire if you need more information.
