Gianfranco Frattini 'Sesann' Livingroom Set in Original Cognac Leather
About
Gianfranco Frattini for Cassina, 'Sesann' lounge set, cognac leather and chrome-plated steel, Italy, 1969
This Postmodern sofa and chairs are designed by Gianfranco Frattini, the 'Sesann' works from the idea of informal sitting where everything has a soft line and a bulky. It is the materialisation of the new idea of interior design, were the items were part of a larger playful living landscape instead of being a rationalist object in itself. The mass of the material and the backrest is supported and contained by a chrome metal armour. The uncanny, original design that consists of the large cushions, the tufted surface creates an vibrant appearance. It has a lot of resemblances with the Soriana model by Scarpa, that was designed in the same year.
Gianfranco Frattini (1926-2004) was an Italian designer and architect. Similarly to many other architects, Frattini became an interior and Industrial designer because he missed the specific furnishings for his buildings. Frattini was a very skilled woodworker and was a student of Gio Ponti. His style can be defined by its architectural structure and playful lines.
