Description

Postmodern couch by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for Cassina. Reupholstered in aniline leather. Manufactured by Cassina in the 1970s, the Soriana collection was meant to express beauty and comfort by using a whole bundle of fabric held by a chrome-plated steel clamp. The "Soriana Chair" was the first piece designed in the collection and won the Compasso D'oro in 1969 for its design. Would fit well in a more eclectic Hollywood Regency inspired interior as in a more monochromatic Minimalist Maria Pergay style decor.
