Tramonto Sofa in New York, Gaetano Pesce, Cassina, circa 1979

Tramonto a New York sofa, designed by Gaetano Pesce and produced by Cassina in 1979. This example corresponds to the first edition of the model, identifiable by its original proportions. A true manifesto piece, Tramonto a New York introduces the urban landscape into the domestic sphere. The generously padded volumes are covered in an exclusive textured fabric reminiscent of the city's façades, while the central backrest in bright red satin suggests a setting sun slipping between the skyscrapers. At the intersection of architecture, sculpture, and furniture, the sofa asserts a strong narrative dimension, emblematic of Gaetano Pesce's radical and expressive approach in the late 1970s. More than just a sofa, Tramonto a New York presents itself as a lived work, designed as a visual and symbolic experience while remaining a generous and welcoming seat. Excellent overall condition. Manufacturer: Cassina, circa 1979.
