Though mid-century Italian designers may not have the name recognition as some of their Scandinavian and American counterparts, they were integral to developing a modern aesthetic in Europe.

At first, most Italian designers found it challenging to balance modern creativity and classical elegance, but as this sofa demonstrates, they eventually found the recipe for the perfect result. Like their international counterparts, Italian designers prized the marriage of form and function, visible in the curved body, seat cushion, and tapered legs. Curved sofas are in general considered statement pieces, for reasons that are eminently present in this three-seater sofa: a generous rounded body and materials of the highest quality, and of course the revered Italian craftsmanship. With its curved arms and back, this sofa is perfect to break the rigour of any space, keeping the elegant appearance. The round edges are further accentuated by the single line of tufted buttons that sink into the textured, luxurious upholstery with an elegant light colour. The tapered, stained wood legs have a beautiful colour and grain, injecting the organic wood material to the design. The back legs are lightly splayed to provide perfect stability to the structure.

Mid-century modern designs - like this sofa - are simple, clean, and make use of authentic materials. These designs are quite shorn of ornamentation of any form, assigning this role to the visual and material quality instead.
