Mid-century design is characterised by clean, simple lines, honest use of materials, and a lack of unnecessary decorative embellishments. Italian mid-century designers blended traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics to obtain beautifully timeless pieces, and this sofa is exemplary of the main ideals of the era.

Through its fluid and pleasant shape, the apparent simplicity of this piece serves as an ode to the pursuit of elegant functionality. The enveloping shape of the sofa’s body encourages conversation and interaction, thanks to its cosy and welcoming curvature. This detail sets the piece apart from most sofas, and transforms it into a statement piece which can break the monotony of any space. The burgundy-coloured mohair fabric adds a rich and luxurious look and feel, with the deep, warm hue of the upholstery creating a sense of opulence, making it an ideal choice for an eye-catching interior. The body rests on four symmetrically arranged tapered wooden legs; beyond obvious function, the legs also add visual interest through their conical shape. The curved lines that define the shape of this sofa - from its backrest to its legs and armrests - evoke a sense of inviting comfort, making it the perfect spot to lounge.

The Italian passion and talent for mid-century modern design is evident when looking at this sofa: a product of quality materials and master cabinetmakers. The effect resulting from the combination of design choices is remarkable, a luscious visual treat that makes this two-seater sofa a perfect accent piece.
