Diego Mattu for 1P 'Malù' Modular Sofa in Beige Upholstery

About the Item

Diego Mattu for 1P, 'Malù' modular sofa, fabric, ABS plastic, Italy, 1969 Diego Mattu's Malù creation introduces exceptionally cozy sofa produced by the Italian company 1P. These modular elements are made to reach an ultimate level of comfort as can clearly be recognized in the design. The sofa boasts a substantial, rounded seat and backrest that dominate the overall layout. The units are executed in beige fabric and attached in vivid folds, giving the chairs more texture. The foundation is constructed from ABS, a durable plastic frequently used in furniture design of this period. These chairs can function as standalone pieces or can be arranged side by side to form a sofa arrangement. This design aesthetic not only reflects the new production technology of the time, but also captures the redefinition of mobility in the 1960s-70s, which was driven by the desire for a playful and relaxed environment. Please note that we advise reupholstery before use. This item contains threadbare upholstery with loose seams and small stains. Reupholstery can be done before shipping by our experienced craftspeople in our own in-house restoration atelier. With high attention for the original, they make sure every piece contains its value and is ready for the many years to come.
