Alessandro Becchi for Giovanetti ‘Anfibio’ Sofa in Brown Suede
About the Item
Alessandro Becchi for Giovannetti Collezioni, 'Anfibio' sofa, leather, steel, Italy, 1971
The Anfibio sofa, a rare and innovative creation by Italian designer Alessandro Becchi for Giovannetti Collezioni, stands as a classic example of 1970s Italian modern design. Made in rich brown suede, this convertible sofa has a unique feature: it can be effortlessly transformed into a double bed, offering both style and versatility. The clever design allows for easy adaptation to various needs, making it ideal for both seating and sleeping.
The Anfibio sofa gained international recognition in 1972 when it was featured in the "Italy: The New Domestic Landscape" exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. This exhibition celebrated cutting-edge Italian design, and Becchi's creation was among the standout pieces. The soft suede upholstery, combined with the innovative convertible design, makes this sofa a timeless piece that encapsulates the adventurous spirit and creativity of 1970s Italian design.
