Description
Wood and fabric sofa, Italian-made, designed by Federico Munari, 1950s.
This sofa, designed by Federico Munari in the 1950s, resembles a colorful brushstroke on a canvas, seemingly inspired by the graphic art of the time. A skilled designer active across various applied arts, Munari collaborated with companies like Olivetti and Piaggio. His furniture designs stand out for their unconventional shapes, particularly in seating, where the flowing lines make his pieces instantly recognizable. This particular sofa, with its elegantly curved lines and conical wooden legs, offers the comforting embrace of a design that is both inviting and visually engaging. The thoughtful asymmetry in depth between the two ends introduces a dynamic visual interest, while the gently sloping backrest enhances both the aesthetic and ergonomic appeal, giving the overall design a distinctive character that combines style and functionality.
The sofa is completely original from the period and has been fully restored. It now features new velvet upholstery in a soft, pale pink shade—subtle yet captivating, adding a modern touch while preserving the timeless elegance of the piece.
