About the Item
The witty and elegant Malitte sofa is a sculptural assemblage of organic forms. When deconstructed, the interlocking elements form multi-use seating – lounge chairs, a chaise longue and a footrest. Our set has been reupholstered in a long-pile alpaca wool.
Roberto Matta (1911-2002) graduated as an architect from Santiago de Chile in 1935, but became involved with the Surrealist movement in Europe, practising as a painter from the late 1930s onwards. The Malitte sofa, named after his wife Malitte Pope, combines Matta’s structural architectural training and his fluid, artistic instincts. It is included in the permanent collection of MoMA in New York.
Literature: P. Fiell, 1000 chairs, Cologne 1997, p. 456.
