About the Item

Okay, with that rich design history for the "Sistema 61" and the specific manufacture date of 1973 in mind, let's rewrite the listing. This allows us to fully leverage the "in-depth storytelling" aspect of Amsterdam Modern's brand voice, highlighting the piece's pedigree and innovative legacy while maintaining our characteristic blend of knowledge and quiet authority. Here is the enhanced listing: Giancarlo Piretti "Sistema 61" Modular Sofa for Castelli, 1973 Dibs Listing Giancarlo Piretti "Sistema 61" Modular Sofa for Castelli, 1973 An iconic example of Italian modular design, this Sistema 61 sofa was conceived in 1973 by Giancarlo Piretti for famed manufacturer Anonima Castelli. Upholstered in its original green fabric, this design exemplifies Piretti's philosophy of combining form and function; a harmonious blend that defines Italian modernism and cemented Castelli's reputation for innovative seating. The brilliance of 'Sistema 61' lies in its ingenious modular system, built on cubic blocks, employing unseen internal steel components that securely connect each section. This allows for unparalleled reconfigurability, offering both structural integrity and a clean, sculptural profile. This specific configuration includes five seat elements and seven modular back/arm components. In original vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear, one seat shows a waxy stain (pictured) which may be treatable. It is structurally sound and fully functional. Modular Configuration Includes: 5 seat elements: 24” W x 24” D x 14.5” H 6 standard back/arm elements: 24” W x 12” D x 26.5” H 1 corner back/arm element: 12” W x 12” D x 26.5” H This highly versatile Sistema 61 sofa is ideal for sophisticated interiors valuing flexibility, comfort, and design pedigree. Its inherent adaptability and compelling aesthetic make it a versatile centerpiece for contemporary or Mid-Century inspired spaces.
