AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Iconic modular Strips sofa, designed by Cini Boeri (alongside Laura Griziotti) in 1968-1972 for Arflex.
A true classic of Italian design, awarded the Compasso d’Oro in 1979 and today exhibited in numerous design museums around the world. The Strips system revolutionized the concept of upholstery thanks to its fully removable quilted cover, inspired by a sleeping bag: practical, washable and easily replaceable. The frame is metal and poplar plywood, with differentiated-density polyurethane foam padding that guarantees comfort and durability over time.
This piece has been completely reupholstered in a precious red velvet of high quality, a deep, vibrant red that gives the sofa a strong, contemporary, and scenographic character. The velvet enhances the quilted pattern typical of the model, creating beautiful plays of light and shadow, and makes the piece perfect for modern interiors, lofts, or environments that seek a bold yet warm touch.
