Obliqua two-seater leather sofa, Mario Botta, 1980s

The "Obliqua" two-seater leather sofa, produced in the 1980s by the Italian firm Alias. Emblematic of Italian postmodernism, it features a deep, structured seat upholstered in black leather, resting on an angular base characteristic of the architect's work. Conceived as an extension of the architectural gesture into the domestic space, Obliqua combines comfort, rigor, and formal expressiveness. DV4277.
