Italian Modern Three-Seat "Confidential" Sofa by Alberto Rosselli for Saporiti

About the Item

Note that this listing is for the 3-seater sofa alone (matching loveseat and lounge chair are available separately). Three-piece "Confidential" Sofa designed in 1972 by Italian architect, Alberto Rosselli, for Saporiti Italia composed of a durable, metal, upholstered frame with loose cushions and a subframe/base of black molded plastic. This ingenious, attractive design, epitomizing form and function, features 'puzzle piece' cushions that connect the modules. Original striped velvet upholstery in olive green, blue, and blue-green present. (Video and close-ups make the fabric appear silver due to the natural light - main color of the velvet is a blue/green or teal). Velvet has been steam cleaned, but wear remains (one patched hole to an arm, light fading, minor soiling/spotting, general wear). Can be used as is with aforementioned issues, though reupholstery is recommended. Retains the "Saporiti" fabric label under seat cushion, and all three modules are manufacturer branded to the molded plastic undersides. Sourced in Rome, Italy. See other listings for the corresponding chair and loveseat. H: 24.75" (with back cushions) / 22" (without) L: 93.5" D: 32.5" Seat Height: 14.5" (with cushion) / 12" (without)
