Soriana sofa by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for Cassina, Italy, 70s

Iconic Soriana sofa, designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa in 1969 for Cassina, an authentic original example from the 1970s. A masterpiece of Italian design awarded the Compasso d'Oro in 1970, symbolising a radical approach to comfort and form. This famous sofa is distinguished by its soft, sculptural volumes, lacking a traditional internal structure, held together by the renowned chrome steel clips, which are perfectly preserved here. The structure is still solid and intact in all its parts, both in the seat and the backrest, indicating extremely limited use over time. The upholstery is made of luxurious thick velvet of high quality and is still in excellent condition. Soft to the touch and visually rich, it features refined mixed shades that interact with light in an elegant and profound manner. A fabric of bygone quality, with a strong material presence, traditionally associated with the aesthetics of the 1970s, capable of integrating naturally and versatilely into both classic and contemporary environments. The internal padding is solid and compact, as if it were still new, providing enveloping comfort while preserving the original expressiveness of the design. A rare piece to find in this condition, given its over 50 years, combining historical value, craftsmanship of another era, and timeless aesthetics.
