Soriana sofa - Afra and Tobia Scarpa - Cassina 1970s

The iconic Soriana sofa, designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa in 1969 for Cassina, is an authentic original from the 1970s. A masterpiece of Italian design, it won the Compasso d'Oro in 1970, symbolising a radical approach to comfort and form. This famous sofa stands out for its fluid and sculptural volumes, lacking a traditional internal structure, held together by the renowned chrome-plated clips, which are perfectly preserved here. The structure remains solid and intact in every part, both in the seat and the backrest, testament to extremely limited use. The upholstery is made of luxurious thick velvet of high quality, in excellent condition. Soft to the touch and visually rich, it features refined shades that interact with light in an elegant and profound way. This fabric, with its vintage character and strong material presence, is traditionally associated with the aesthetics of the 1970s and integrates naturally and versatilely into both classic and contemporary settings. The internal padding is solid and compact, as if it were still new, offering enveloping comfort while preserving the original expressiveness of the design. A rare piece to find in these conditions, considering its over 50 years, combining historical value, craftsmanship of a bygone era, and timeless aesthetics.
