About the Item

Luciano Frigerio's Norman 3 Seat Sofa in walnut and suede exemplifies mid-century Italian elegance and craftsmanship. Renowned for his unique approach to furniture design, Frigerio's work combines sleek, minimalist lines with luxurious materials, creating pieces that are both functional and aesthetically stunning. The Norman sofa, crafted from rich walnut wood, showcases Frigerio's expertise in woodworking. The walnut's natural grain adds warmth and depth to the pieces, making them not only furniture but also art. The frames are sturdy yet refined, with clean lines that highlight the quality of the wood. Complementing the walnut, the upholstery is made from high-quality suede, providing a soft and sumptuous seating experience. The suede's texture adds a layer of sophistication, contrasting beautifully with the smooth finish of the walnut. The color palette often features earthy tones, enhancing the natural aesthetic of the wood and creating a harmonious and inviting atmosphere. Frigerio, whose hobby was playing the piano, infused a sense of musical elegance into his designs. The Norman set's sleek lines and harmonious proportions subtly resemble the form of a grand piano, reflecting his passion for music. While the walnut frames have gracefully withstood the test of time, the original suede upholstery, now over 50 years old, subtly calls for refreshing to restore its former glory. The necessary renewing of the upholstery will revive the set, ensuring it continues to offer both luxury and comfort for many more years. Frigerio's Norman set remains a testament to timeless design, where every detail is considered, and materials are chosen not just for their appearance, but for the luxurious experience they offer. This living room set stands as a symbol of Frigerio's legacy in the world of high-end furniture design.

Corner Sofa Blond Wood and Fabric, Italy, 1950's
By Ico Parisi
Located in Uithoorn, NL
Corner sofa in blond wood and fabric,, Italy, 1950's What stands out most in this low corner bench are the recesses in the framework and the 9 straight, tapered, squared stiletto legs that are so typical for that period in Italy. As you can see the backrest is optional and was probably designed later to give it some extra comfort. Back in the days these sofas were mostly used for very practical purposes like a quick coffee or pasta. This sofa would work very well in a corner of course but strangely enough this rectangular sofa also works very well in the middle of a room for example with a round table and two chairs...
