1930s Curved Italian Art Deco Sofa in Walnut Brown Velvet and Metal Details

About the Item

Sofa, walnut, aluminum, velvet, Italy, 1930s This exceptional sofa, crafted during the Italian Art Deco period of the 1930s, embodies the era's focus on streamlined forms and simplicity achieved through thoughtful composition. The use of geometric shapes softened by rounded edges, all framed within clean lines, introduced a sense of practicality, characteristic of modernist design. The foundation of the piece is its walnut frame, characterized by a prominent sweeping curve that imparts the piece with a sense of fluidity and movement. The richly expressive wood grain, with its variations in warm tones, adds a natural and organic dimension, showing the designer's respect for the material without unnecessary adornment. Structural accents are introduced through cylindrical aluminum bars that connect the armrests to the base, acting as both functional supports and decorative elements. These metallic details, along with the aluminum band encircling the base, provide a sleek, industrial contrast to the warmth of the walnut. This combination refers to the period's fascination with the juxtaposition of natural and modern materials. The brown velvet upholstery enhances the sofa's refined aesthetic, with its plush texture complementing the elegant contours of the design. Kindly note that the piece is in good, used condition with signs of age and use. For further details, we encourage you to reach out to our team of design specialists.
