We have one brick red/cordovan leather sofa and matching armchair designed by the Italian architect, Alberto Rosselli in 1972 for Saporiti Italia. Two pieces total. Price shown is for the sofa and the chair together. The "Confidential" is one of the first modular sofas ever produced for private homes.

D Alberto Rosselli was most well-known for his partnership in the architectural practice Studio Ponti-Fornaroli-Rosselli (P.F.R.) 1952-1976, alongside the Italian designer Gio Ponti.
