The iconic Soriana sofa, designed in 1969 by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for Cassina, is a hallmark of Italian mid-century modern design. It earned international acclaim, winning the prestigious Compasso d’Oro award in 1970 for its innovative approach to furniture making. The sofa reflects the radical and experimental design ethos of the late 1960s and 1970s, which emphasized bold forms, inventive use of materials, and a focus on comfort.
Its defining feature is its sculptural, tufted form, where the soft upholstery appears "gathered" and held in place by polished metal clamps. This design eliminates the need for a rigid internal frame, instead relying on tension and compression to create its iconic, organic shape
This particular piece has been reupholstered in all natural aniline full-grain leather, known for its thick, soft texture and luxurious feel. This material also ages beautifully, acquiring a patina that adds to its vintage charm. This kind of leather will last almost forever with many possibilities of refreshing it in next decades and even centuries.
Combining artistic innovation with unparalleled comfort, the Soriana sofa remains a highly sought-after design classic, reflecting the radical and experimental ethos of its time while continuing to inspire contemporary interiors. The manufacturer's label on the bottom of the sofa confirms its original provenance. A design gem, one of a kind in our collection.
