Two-seater canapé by Minotti for Gigi Radice in two-tone Kvadrat velvet – Italy 1955

This rare two-seater sofa, designed by Gigi Radice for Minotti in 1955, represents a foundational moment in post-war Italian design. Radice, a key figure in Italian modernism, introduces a sophisticated and measured language here, capable of merging architectural rigor with bourgeois comfort. The compact proportions and elegant line reflect a cultivated vision of living, designed for refined and conscious interiors. The two-tone Kvadrat velvet upholstery — a contemporary fabric of very high quality — interacts with the original project by enhancing the volumes without betraying the spirit. The result is a rare balance between history and modernity, where Mid-Century Italian design meets Scandinavian textile excellence. An authentic, highly collectible piece, ideal for a representative living room or a conservation space.
