About the Item

A three-seater sofa in walnut and fabric, in the style of Paolo Buffa, Italian manufacture, 1940s Graceful, sinuous curves define this Italian three-seater sofa from the 1940s. Crafted with exceptional artisanal skill, the wooden structure reflects the influence of Paolo Buffa, a renowned mid-century designer celebrated for introducing soft, organic lines to bourgeois interiors. A standout feature is the armrest, whose gentle curve enhances seating comfort. The seat consists of a series of padded cushions, with the backrest subtly embellished by two button-tufted details. Every element of this piece is thoughtfully designed, including the sequence of eight slim, slightly curved legs that support the sofa—an explicit nod to Buffa's unmistakable Italian style. Both the wooden frame and the upholstered cushions have undergone meticulous professional restoration. The finely polished structure highlights the wood's warm grain and quality, while the fabric, featuring a delicate checkered texture, adds character and originality to the sofa. This is a comfortable and delightful piece, perfect for furnishing a living room, a waiting area, or creating a relaxing corner in an office. Dimensions: 199.5W x 77D x 80H cm - Seat height: 42 cm
