Marco Zanuso Sofa for Arflex Mod. Milord

Creator: Marco Zanuso
Offered by: Vintage Domus Srl

Description
This splendid Milord sofa, designed by Marco Zanuso for Arflex in the 1950s, is a masterpiece of mid-century Italian design, perfectly balanced between elegance, innovation, and functionality. A sophisticated example of craftsmanship, where comfort meets the precision of form, creating a seamless dialogue between high-quality materials and refined construction details.

The sofa is crafted with a solid wood frame, characterized by soft and elegant lines that provide lightness and harmony to the overall design. The carefully designed legs and structure ensure stability and refinement, while the enveloping seat offers exceptional comfort, making it a true invitation to relaxation.

A defining element of this sofa is its backrest, which contrasts with the smooth curves of the frame by featuring a sharp and structured design. This contrast between the softness of the form and the well-defined geometry of the backrest gives the sofa a sculptural aesthetic, embodying a perfect balance between rationality and beauty.

The seating is upholstered in original period leather, preserved in its authentic vintage charm with subtle signs of age, light scratches, and a natural patina that enhances its historical value and authenticity. The sofa has been lightly refinished to maintain its vintage identity without altering its original character.
A refined detail is represented by the brass pins on the sides of the backrest, which create an elegant textural contrast and a striking visual detachment, highlighting Zanuso's craftsmanship and his peculiar design philosophy.

This sofa stands out for its eclectic character, capable of combining harmony, beauty and elegance. Ideal for sophisticated and modern environments, it represents not only an icon of Italian design but also a piece of history, perfect for enriching any space with style and authenticity.
