About the Item

Crafted in Ettore Zaccari's own workshop in Italy during the 1930s, this exquisite lounge sofa is a testament to the remarkable skill and artistry of its creator. The sofa is finished in a dark brown ebonized ash wood, which imparts a luxurious and sophisticated appearance. Its distinctive design features a circle-shaped backrest with three crosspieces and an armrest bracket that culminates elegantly in a stylized acorn, showcasing Zaccari's meticulous attention to detail and flair for decorative elements. The wood is meticulously stamped and stained green, adorned with intricate arabesque and spiral ornamentation. These decorative flourishes underscore Zaccari's prowess as both a designer and a craftsman, transforming the piece into a true work of art. While embodying neoclassical elements, the sofa also reflects a modern and progressive aesthetic characteristic of its era. The cushion has been newly upholstered in white linen, faithfully reproducing the original design to maintain its authentic allure. This lounge sofa not only exemplifies Zaccari's exceptional craftsmanship but also his enduring design sensibilities. The wooden structure is in original condition with minor age related wear which is normal according to its age and only adds character. Ettore Zaccari was an Italian designer and artist known for his skillful and expressive sculptures. Active in the mid-20th century, Zaccari's work blended classical and modernist influences, showcasing intricate detail and a profound understanding of form and material. He worked with bronze, marble, and wood, creating pieces that resonated with art enthusiasts and collectors. Beyond his sculptural work, Zaccari was also a dedicated teacher and mentor, contributing to the development of future artists. His legacy endures through his unique aesthetic and his impact on the art community. Just like all our upholstered pieces, these can be newly upholstered to your liking. Consult with our experienced upholstery department for a reasonable quote on customizing the item of your choice. We exclusively utilize premium quality fabrics, foam, and materials for all our products. During the reupholstery process, preserving the originality is our top priority to ensure the piece retains its value and remains ready for years of use ahead.

Mario Bellini Quartet sofa Cassina Italy 1964
By Mario Bellini
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Extremely rare 932 'Quartet' sofa designed by architect Mario Bellini and manufactured by Cassina in Italy in 1964. Very early model made up of five separate pieces. It's quite challenging to come across one in this large and impressive size. What makes it even more special is its gorgeous cognac colour. This sofa's modular design means you can arrange its elements in various ways to suit different settings. It's still in good original condition, considering its age, with some expected wear and tear that adds character and enhances its beautiful appearance and patina. There are no holes or tears in it. In the 1960s Mario Bellini reinterpreted the concept of classic furniture stuffing with the 932 model, transforming the padding of the traditional armchair into an item of furniture: four independent cushions connected by a belt passed around the outside. Bellini took as his starting point Le Corbusier’s Grand...
