Italian Two-Seater Sofa with Longhair Sheepskin, Italy ca 1940s
About the Item
Italian furniture from the mid-century era is defined by an elegant design aesthetic, perfect execution, and exclusivity. The era’s seating models - including this sofa - were created to highlight the spirit of rebirth of post-war furniture characterised by clean lines and a free spirit.
This delightfully eccentric model is quite simplistic in its form. The design is focused on the aesthetics of modernism whilst employing the exquisite technique and material familiarity of the highly skilled craftsmen. The flamboyant look is the result of the brilliant pairing of materials. The smooth wooden armrests stand out against the textural, sheepskin while also accentuating the individuality of the upholstery. The soft fibres of the lightweight, feathery sheepskin drape beautifully over the sofa, while the warm brown colour adds depth. The warm coloured wood and the organic, sinuous curves of the arms recall the bending of the human body. The welcoming, rounded shape of the arm- and backrest and the sculptural form flows effortlessly and highlights the expert design. The back legs are tapered and splayed for support.
The outstanding visual characteristic of this sofa is both traditional and modern, which is simply timeless. This is precisely the charm of Italian mid-century pieces, the effortless style paired with the highest quality of materials and craftsmanship.
