The anfibio sofa designed in 1970 by alessandro becchi for giovannetti represents one of the most iconic pieces of italian design, And after more than 50 years it is still one of the most sought-after and popular sofas among design enthusiasts. It is part of the design collections of several museums around the world, including the moma in new york, where it was first exhibited in 1972. On the occasion of the exhibition ‘italy: the new domestic landscape’, which included the most avant-garde italian design projects of the time, including those by: gae aulenti, ettore sottsass, joe colombo, marco zanuso and richard sapper, mario bellini, gaetano pesce, ugo la pietra, archizoom, superstudio, gruppo strum, enzo mari. The anfibio sofa was rightly part of the line of furniture expressing a new, more relaxed and convivial way of living and hosting. In fact, its revolutionary structure allows the sofa to be opened up, transforming it into a cosy daybed that can accommodate several people. The sofa is equipped with a steel frame with a hinge that allows the sofa to be opened, padding in non-deformable high-density polyurethane, and removable cover in black leather. The sofa is in excellent condition, the leather is soft and supple and shows no wear. The only signs to highlight are: a scratch on the right armrest and two slight deformations of the leather at the armrests. It should also be noted that the slider of one of the two zip fasteners is missing its puller, which does not prevent it from functioning as the slider slides smoothly. These marks have been highlighted out of pure scrupulousness and do not detract from the charm of this sofa, which is in excellent condition, has been cleaned with cleansing milk and is ready for use.
