Pair of sofas in the Franco Albini style from the 1960s Italy.

Magnificent 2-seater basket-style benches in rattan, an iconic model from the 1960s. What you have exactly: • The model: it's called a shell bench, basket, or "banana". Structure in bamboo / hot-bent rattan, seat and backrest in woven rattan strands. It's artisanal work in the style of Franco Albini. • The era: 1960. It has the same spirit as Italian garden lounges from that period. • Dimensions: generally H78 x W113 x D71 for this model, it's the standard size for this type of 2-seater bench. • The plus: having them in identical pairs is rare. Most are sold individually or with a mismatched armchair. Seat height 34.
