About the Item

Adriano Piazzesi Italian 1970's sofa; the whole with channel and tufted upholstery, the sides and back are curved and covered in a warm brown Italian leather. The sofa is constructed of original solid wood structure and has been completely restored in our professional studio and is newly reupholstered in a Belgian textured creamy/white wool and cotton. The design, fabrication and form is highly indicative of the glamorous and playful style of Italy during the 1970's and would make a sculptural and statement piece for any interior style. (A Matching Pair of Chairs are Available). Made in Italy, circa 1970, designed by artist and sculptor, Adriano Piazzesi (1923 – 2009). Size: 27" back height x 17 1/2" seat height x 82" wide x 37" deep Designer, painter and sculptor, Adriano Piazzesi (1923 – 2009) approaches projects in the light of the relationship between the object and its user. His work is not a tool for him, but rather an integral part of marketing and production, into which he can pour his artistic sensibility and attitude. Piazzesi has been active since the sixties: he studied architecture, from which he acquired the taste for designing the structures underlying surfaces, yet his interests have never been limited solely to the professional aspect of a designer.

'Coronado' two seat sofa in beautiful cognac leather, designed by Tobia Scarpa and manufactured by the Italian firm, B&B Italia, circa 1975.

The present two seater sofa offered in its original cognac leather upholstery preserved in excellent condition. Labels affixed on both pieces read 'Coronado' designed by Tobia Scarpa for B&B Italia. Afra and Tobia Scarpa designs were characterized by simplicity and elegance, accompanied with modern and refined aesthetics. During the 1960's, the couple designed the Bastiano sofa and the Vanessa bed for Gavina and the Soriana armchair and Poltroncina 925 for Cassina, now exhibited in the permanent collection of the MoMA.

Ubald Klug DS-1025 "Terrazza" Sofa for De Sede, Brown Leather, 1974

Ubald Klug DS-1025 "Terrazza" Sofa for De Sede, Brown Leather, 1974

By Ubald Klug, De Sede

Located in Lonigo, Veneto

Ubald Klug DS-1025 "Terrazza" sofa for De Sede, brown leather, Switzerland, 1974. Ubald Klug designed this rare modular DS-1025 "Terrazza" sofa as a real living landscape. Each element recalls a terrace-like, stepped slope with different widths and depths. A valley or a mountain can appear depending on how the individual modules are assembled. The "Terrazza" was recreated thanks to the De Sede manufacturer and its ability to transform high-quality leather into seating furniture. This multi-layered upholstered relief invites people to sit or lie down, combining durability and comfort with a unique design. After training at the Art and Design College in Zurich, Ulbald Klug (1932) gained further experience in architectural practices in Zurich and Helsinki. Paris has been his sphere of activity since 1966, when he founded his architecture and interior design bureau. Klug proved himself successful at finding solutions to different challenges and developed non-conformist solutions - from furniture design, to concepts for urban installations, to architectural prototypes...
