About the Item

Menilio Taro "811" minimalist modular sofa for Cinova, black leather and steel, Italy, 1970, set of four Designed in 1970 by Menilio Taro for Cinova, the “811” modular sofa exemplifies the restrained elegance and functional clarity of Italian minimalism at the close of the decade. Defined by clean horizontal lines and generous proportions, the piece features low-slung cushions upholstered in black leather, resting on a discreet yet solid base that enhances its visual lightness. Its modular structure allows for flexible configurations, reflecting a design ethos rooted in adaptability and comfort. The “811” pursues geometric rigor without sacrificing sensuality, thanks to the enveloping volumes of the leather cushions and the seamless integration of seat and backrest. The chromed surface of the supporting structure highlights this linear harmony, lending character to the sofa—minimal, refined, sophisticated. Comparable in spirit to the work of contemporaries such as Vico Magistretti and Mario Bellini, the “811” embodies a transitional moment in Italian design, when the domestic landscape was being reimagined through modularity, material integrity, and architectural discipline. Taro’s work also aligns with the understated radicalism of Claudio Salocchi—another key figure associated with Cinova—who similarly explored modularity and essential forms in domestic environments. This sofa stands as a rare example of post-rationalist aesthetics, where comfort is achieved not through embellishment but through proportion, material quality, and spatial intelligence.
