About the Item

Italian mid-century furniture and interior design is known for its elegantly organic forms. The era’s seating models - including this sofa - were created to highlight the spirit of rebirth of post-war furniture design characterized by clean lines and a free spirit. Similarly to Joseph-André Motte’s designs, this individualistic sofa reflects the mid-century Italian furniture style that was defined by unique solutions, perfect execution, and exclusivity. This delightfully eccentric model is quite simplistic in its design, featuring a combination of a round, shell-like body and slender, tapered metal legs. The rotund body embraces the sitter comfortably with its sloping, pointy armrests, which creates a cosy feel and look. The angular look is artistic and stylish, and establishes the unmistakeable Italian design impression. The pointed arms and metal legs break the round lines that characterize the design and add just enough edge. The cushion, nested into the sofa, follows the smooth and cosy aesthetic. The simple but effective shape is further supported by the light upholstery that is elegantly restrained while having enough textural variety to enhance the round forms. The sofa is mounted on tapered metal legs that offer great contrast to the round body and its upholstery. The polished and patinated look stands out beautifully against the upholstery and emphasizes the slim shape ending in small ball feet. Though many mid-century Italian designers may not have the name recognition as some of their Scandinavian counterparts, they were integral to developing a modern aesthetic in Europe. The appreciation for their contribution is still growing today making outstanding Italian pieces like this artistic sofa highly sought after. ‎Condition: In good vintage condition.
