About the Item

Elegant and refined Italian Mid-Century three-seater sofa from the 1950s, designed in the style of Radice, and representative of the sophisticated post-war Italian approach to upholstered seating. This sofa combines clean architectural lines with a balanced and inviting silhouette, making it a timeless and versatile piece of mid-century design. The sofa is raised on slender black iron legs, finished with original brass feet that add a subtle decorative contrast and reflect the refined material vocabulary of the period. The structure is complemented by a pair of loose seat cushions, offering both comfort and visual softness while maintaining the sofa’s elegant proportions. The upholstery is executed in a refined gray velvet, which has been replaced, providing a fresh and clean appearance while remaining fully in keeping with the style and spirit of the original design. The velvet enhances the depth and texture of the piece, emphasizing its sculptural form and ensuring suitability for both contemporary and classic interiors. The sofa is in very good vintage condition, with a solid and stable structure and light signs of wear consistent with age and careful use. The replacement upholstery has been professionally executed, ensuring immediate usability and comfort. A highly versatile and visually refined piece, ideal for sophisticated living rooms, design-focused interiors, or professional environments. This Italian mid-century sofa in the Radice style embodies the understated elegance, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal that define the best Italian furniture of the 1950s.
