About the Item

A rare and iconic example of Italian modular design, this Sistema 61 sofa was created by Giancarlo Piretti in the 1970s for Anonima Castelli. Upholstered in its original green fabric, this configuration includes five seat elements and seven modular back/arm components, allowing for a wide range of arrangements to suit various interior layouts. 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 The design features a clever internal steel connection system that keeps each module securely in place while remaining invisible, offering both stability and a clean-lined, sculptural profile. Low-slung and geometric, the sofa exemplifies the harmony of form and function that defines the best of Italian modernist design. Condition: Original vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear. One seat module shows a waxy stain (pictured), which may be treatable with professional cleaning. Structurally sound and fully functional. This is a highly collectible and versatile piece, ideal for sophisticated interiors that value flexibility, comfort, and design pedigree.
