Soriana Lounge Chair by Afra & Tobia Scarpa for B&B Italy - 1970's
-
Description
Winner of the compasso d’oro award in 1970, the Soriana led Italian couple Afra and Tobia Scarpa to instant success. Together in 1968 they designed a cloud-like sofa for low-slung lounging. An original concept, the fully stuffed seat maintains its structure in a metal belts front and back. It then shot to further collectability this decade after appearing in the beautiful homes of famous American interior designers Kelly Wearstler and Nate Berkus.
The sofa has been recently reupholstered, thereby in excellent condition, with only some age and patina to the metal. We have two of these chairs available and offer in-house reupholstery services to the fabric of your desire. -
