About the Item
Large curved sofa in wood and fabric, upholstered in green velvet, in the style of Gio Ponti — Italian manufacture, 1950s
In a living room, the sofa is the quintessential piece of furniture — a symbol of hospitality and comfort. And when designed with a curved shape, it naturally encourages conversation among guests. What stands out in this piece is its pleasantly concave form and well-balanced proportions, which cleverly conceal its generous size, comfortably seating up to four people.
The wooden frame, fully upholstered in a soft pistachio green velvet, reflects both the fashion of the 1950s and a timeless elegance. The design is strongly reminiscent of Gio Ponti’s distinctive style — the influential Milanese architect and designer who helped redefine 20th-century interiors. In the curvature of the backrest and armrests, Ponti’s aesthetic is clearly evident: rounded and voluminous, yet never heavy — refined, personal, and immediately recognisable.
A characteristic feature of Ponti’s furniture, also present in this sofa, is the use of turned light wood legs shaped like cones, which help to visually lighten the overall volume. The piece has been fully restored, including its wooden structure and internal padding, and reupholstered with a high-quality fabric.
