About the Item

A striking Adriano Piazzesi Space Age 3-seat sofa from the 1970s, presented in its original blue crushed velvet upholstery. This piece captures the forward-thinking vision of Italian design, where Piazzesi skillfully blended futuristic forms with luxurious comfort, characteristic of the era's innovative aesthetic. The design features a signature contrast that defines its unique appeal: clean, curved forms meet a comfortable, generously padded aesthetic that flows organically over the frame. A particularly clever detail is how the typically exposed aluminum panels, common in Space Age designs, are here artfully upholstered, maintaining a sleek quality while softening the industrial edge. Adding to its unique provenance and luxury appeal, the internal lining features a distinctive Ted Lapidus Paris logo pattern fabric, a subtle nod to the era's high-end fashion. This sofa is more than just seating; it's a piece of 1970s design artistry, offering both an inviting presence and a bold statement. The tactile richness of the blue crushed velvet, combined with its distinctive silhouette, makes it a fabulous addition for anyone looking to infuse their space with authentic vintage glamour and a touch of cosmic allure. It brings a unique warmth and character that simply can't be replicated by modern pieces. In original condition with visible wear consistent with its age and use. Shown with matching chairs, listed separately (LU922445610112).
