About the Item

Designed by Gianfranco Frattini for Cassina in the early 1970s, the Sesann sofa is a classic example of Italian design from the period. The design is characterised by its exposed chrome-plated tubular steel frame, which supports the generously upholstered cushions and creates a distinctive architectural silhouette. The contrast between the polished chrome structure and the soft, rounded upholstery gives the sofa its recognisable appearance while providing a high level of comfort. The balanced proportions and honest construction reflect Frattini's restrained and functional approach to design. This three-seat example has been reupholstered in high-quality mohair.
