About the Item

We bring you the 1970s sofa from the Gavina manufacture, a monument to the ingenuity and aesthetics of Italian design from that tumultuous and innovative decade. This sofa is like a poem written in wood and fabric, a hymn to simplicity and functionality that sings the virtues of modernism in every line and angle. The sofa presents its own label. Solidly crafted in a modernist style, this sofa presents simple but at the same time very modern and geometric lines. Its rectangular structure is an example of pure geometry, a rectangle of black lacquered wood that serves as a canvas on which a picture of comfort and style is painted. This structure is like a stage, a neutral backdrop that highlights the real stars: the pillows. Ah, the cushions! Made in tubular and square shapes, they are like geometric clouds floating in this black wooden sky. Recently upholstered in white bouclé, they exude a warmth and elegance that transform the sofa into an oasis of rest and refinement. They are the emotional heart of this piece of furniture, the place where body meets soul, where form meets function. And then there is that wonderful special feature: its ability to turn into a single bed. It is as if the sofa has a double life, a double identity. By day, it is an elegant piece of furniture; by night, it becomes a cozy refuge, a bed on which to dream and rest. Beneath the cushions, the bouclé-covered mattress is a hidden secret, a treasure waiting to be discovered. This sofa is more than just a piece of furniture; it is a piece of history, a witness to the evolution of mid-century Italian design. It is a bridge between the past and the present, a dialogue between tradition and modernity. It is ideal for modernist settings and modern contemporary style, but its true home is anywhere there is an appreciation for design that transcends fashions and trends. With this sofa, you bring home not just a piece of furniture, but a symbol of an era and culture that have elevated design to an art form. It is an invitation to sit back, relax, and reflect on the beauty and complexity of the world around us, a world that finds its purest and highest expression in objects like this, which speak not only to the body, but also to the soul.
