About the Item
A rare and beautifully preserved example of Gastón Rinaldi’s iconic “Saturno” sofa, designed in 1958 for RIMA, this example was produced in 1970.
Upholstered in its original charcoal grey bouclé fabric, this piece has seen minimal use—having resided in a private guest house—and remains in remarkable vintage condition.
Rinaldi, an Italian-Argentine designer, is celebrated for his sophisticated synthesis of sculptural form and ergonomic comfort.
The Saturno sofa embodies his signature style, featuring a sweeping, crescent-shaped silhouette and elegantly contoured lines that make it a standout focal point in any interior.
Though often mistakenly thought of as Italian, Rinaldi was born and based in Argentina, where he played a key role in defining mid-century South American modernism.
After his successful tenure at RIMA, he founded his own firm, Thema, in 1974, further cementing his legacy in the region’s design history.
Highly sought after by collectors and decorators alike, this Saturno sofa offers both historical importance and enduring style.
With its authentic 1970 production date, untouched original upholstery, and excellent provenance, it represents a unique opportunity to own a museum-worthy piece of Latin American design heritage—at once functional, sculptural, and timeless.
Rinaldi won the 1954 Compasso d’Oro for his DU30 chair (also for Rima). Rinaldi left Rima in 1974 to found his own company “Thema,”
The sofa has sat in a rarely used guest house for the last 20 years which accounts for its excellent vintage condition.
