These sofas are not just furniture, but embodiments of a revolutionary movement, preserved with their original patina whispering stories of a bygone era, while the recent upholstery breathes new life into their timeless form.

The wooden frame, pockmarked by the hands of time, bears the scars of its journey through history, but therein lies its unparalleled beauty. Every imperfection, every mark, tells a story of resilience and resistance, a testimony to the passage of time and the enduring appeal of craftsmanship. And if restoration is desired, the potential to revive its former glory remains ever present, ready to honour its legacy for generations to come. The wooden frame has two coatings, on the inside we see bright warm red, while the backs are painted black to emphasise the importance of its geometric shapes.
But it is the seat that captures the imagination, adorned with a vibrant grey Italian cotton that dances in harmony with the natural grain of the wood. This juxtaposition of textures and tones reinforces the inherent beauty of the material, elevating it to new heights of aesthetic splendour.

the sofa itself exudes an air of futurist elegance, its rigid yet graceful lines and geometric shapes testifying to the avant-garde ethos of the movement. Completing the sofa are two cushions and roll cushions that encircle the entire perimeter of the very elegant and raffined interior. Ideal for rooms or lounges with a penchant for the classic and a thirst for stories untold, these armchairs promise to be more than just seats; they are living artifacts, ready to weave themselves into the fabric of your home and your heart. less
