About the Item
Alberto Rosselli Set For Saporiti 'Confidential', Italy 1970s
Incredibly rare full set of one armchair, loveseat and a three seater sofa + extra extra rare ottoman by Alberto Rosselli for Saporiti. The "Confidential" is one of the first modular sofas ever produced for private homes. Polyurethane injected foam
and steel frame with twin stitched upholstery on a fibreglass reinforced base. Alberto Rosselli (1921-1976) was born in Palermo, the capital island of Sicily, Italy. After graduating in architecture from the Politecnico di Milano in 1947, he stayed and worked in Milan. In 1950, Rosselli, Gio Ponti, and Antonio Fornaroli formed the architecture/design firm Studio Ponti Fornaroli Rosselli (P.F.R) where he worked on his first architectural project ‘Pirelli Tower’ in 1954. During the same year, with the help of Ponti, he founded and directed his own journal titled ‘Stile Industria’, which focused on improving the relationship between design and industry in Italy. The issues incorporated topics that touched on different disciplines, such as design, architecture, and arts, which made significant contributions to the design discourse until its last publication in 1963.
He became an acknowledged Pioneer in Industrial Design, co- founding the Association for Industrial Design (ADI) in 1956, and between 1961 and 1963, working as a vice-president for the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID) later on pursuing a career in the academic field where he developed new teaching that embodied sophisticated methodological principles. He introduced the concept and process of “decision-making” in design to the faculty of architecture in the University of Milan.
** please note that the plastic base of the single chair ONLY does have a crack in it. It does not jeopardize the functionality, comfortability or structure of the piece. It is not noticeable unless the chair is lifted up purposefully to view the base.
