Mario Marenco for Mobil Girgi lounge sofa in walnut & original fabric Italy 1970

About the Item

Mario Marenco for Mobil Girgi lounge sofa in walnut and original fabric Italy 1970s. This beautiful walnut sofa was designed by Mario Marenco for Mobil Girgi in Italy during the 1970s. It features angled front legs that extend to the sides and back, with a slightly curved back support. The wood's rich grain complements the original textured cotton Italian fabric, showcasing the modern and organic style of 1970s Italy. The sofa is generously proportioned and in excellent vintage condition, with only a minor patina on the wood. However, the fabric shows signs of wear and use, so we recommend reupholstering it before use. This lounge sofa is both comfortable and stylish, and it would be a striking addition to any interior, including living rooms, family rooms, screening rooms, or offices. It also fits perfectly in hospitality or corporate locations such as boutique hotel lobbies, cocktail bars, members' clubs, or luxury boutiques. The sofa was designed by Mario Marenco, an Italian architect, designer, and entertainer born in Italy in 1933. He graduated in architecture in 1957 and later opened his design studio, DEGW, in Rome, where he designed community buildings. Marenco collaborated with some of the most prestigious Italian furniture and lighting companies, such as Artemide, Arflex, Bernini and B&B Italia, Mobil Girgi, and Poltrona Frau. His collaboration spanned from furniture to the car industry, designing display stands for Fiat and Alfa Romeo.

    Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
    Wonderful set of Sapporo dining chairs designed by Mario Marenco for Mobil Girgi in Italy in 1970. These chairs are made from Italian walnut with a stunning grain pattern. The seats are original and have aged beautiful, showing a charming, worn-in leather look. What makes these chairs special is their unique design. They have a hammer-shaped backrest that looks nice and provides good support. The seats are wide and comfortable for long meals. One cool thing about these chairs is how they're put together. Two slim slats go from the top of the backrest all the way down to the bottom, where they connect with a horizontal slat. This design makes the chairs look simple and modern. Kindly note that the chairs are priced and sold in a set of 6 but we have 12 of these chairs available as shown on the pictures. Mario Marenco was born in 1933. He studied archi­tec­ture in Naples and won research grants for Stock­holm and Chicago. In 1960 he opened in Rome his own atelier of archi­tec­ture and...
