Three-Seater Sofa in Wicker and Steam-Bent Rattan, Italy, 1960s
About the Item
A versatile three-seater sofa in wicker and steam-bent rattan, italian manufacture, 1960s
Wicker, bamboo, and malacca cane—thanks to their wide availability and ease of steam-bending—have long been ideal materials for interpreting evolving styles in furniture design. In the 1960s, many italian manufacturers explored these materials to create pieces suited not only for verandas and gardens but also for relaxed and charming indoor spaces.
This three-seater sofa was made in italy and features a graceful structure composed of curved uprights supporting a seat with an integrated metal mesh base. Its standard size allows for easy customization with cushions or a mattress, transforming it into a daybed for an afternoon rest or a chaise longue for reading. Paired with a coordinated side table, it becomes the perfect setting for a book, a cup of tea, or a refreshing treat.
The backrest is elegantly constructed from a row of closely placed, curved bamboo canes—an arrangement that gives the piece visual appeal from every angle, even when placed in the center of a room. The careful assembly and sculptural design enhance its decorative presence.
A distinctive feature of this sofa is its thick, boldly designed armrests—an aesthetic detail that adds balance and originality to the overall silhouette. The piece is accompanied by a thin mattress and several cushions, all upholstered in a fabric consistent with the period and style.
