AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Essence of Contemporary Comfort: Divano "Superoblong" – Design by Jasper Morrison (2004) – Original Production by Cappellini
We present at auction an interesting example of contemporary design and informal comfort: the famous Superoblong sofa, conceived by the British maestro Jasper Morrison for Cappellini. Born from the evolution of the successful Oblong seating line, the Superoblong reinterprets domestic upholstery through soft, generous, and deliberately Relaxed volumes. A piece that fuses Morrison's aesthetic of the "super normal" with the sartorial excellence of Made in Italy.
Design and History: The Philosophy of Discreet Comfort
The Superoblong represents the perfect synthesis of Jasper Morrison's design thinking, founded on eliminating the superfluous in favor of ergonomics:
Soft and Welcoming Geometries: The frame defines a squared yet incredibly soft profile, conceived to offer a seating and total relaxation.
Tailoring Details and Contrasts: The prominent visible stitches emphasize the contours of the volumes, highlighting the sculptural nature of the sofa. The contrasting finishes between modules add dynamism and personality, an unmistakable signature of Cappellini production.
Lot Conditions: Impeccable Conservational State (Unstretched and Sanitized)
- The auction piece presents in excellent overall condition:
Fabric Cover in Écru: The high-quality fabric cover in the refined neutral écru tint enhances the piece's clean silhouette. The entire sofa has been fully unstitched for a deep cleaning and professional sanitization.
- Frame and Upholstery: The interior structure and the padding in polyurethane foam and feathers maintain the original elastic response, guaranteeing the same enveloping comfort and geometric poise of the original design.
Authenticity: guaranteed by the Cappellini production label sewn onto the cover.
