Description from the seller
Modernist Living Room "Praga" by Ycami - 3-Seat Sofa and 2 Armchairs - Aluminum and Ostrich Cloth
Elegant and exclusive modernist-design living room model "Praga", produced by the renowned Italian company Ycami (historic brand of the Caimi Group, specialized in high-end aluminum furniture). The set is complete and comprises a wide 3-seat linear sofa and two matching armchairs.
Structure and Design: The living room stands out for the geometric rigor of its horizontal slat structure in brushed aluminum, an iconic material and technological signature of the Ycami brand. The lines, clean and with a strong high-tech and post-modern flavor, recall the structural lightness typical of Italian industrial design from the late 20th century.
Cushions and Upholstery: The cushions are upholstered in the original fabric named by the brand "Struzzo" (composition: 83% PVC, 9% Polyester, 8% Cotton). This is a highly quality synthetic embossed material that faithfully reproduces the luxurious, dotted ostrich skin texture, while offering great water resistance and easy maintenance. The padding combines a firm, supportive polyurethane foam for the seats with soft feather/foam fill for the backs, enclosed in 100% cotton inner pockets (as per the original labels).
General condition: The set is in overall excellent vintage condition. The metal frames are solid, stable, and free from structural defects. The black PVC exterior upholstery maintains a splendid sheen and shows no peeling on the front.
Transparency note: There is a described split/tear of the zipper on the back of one cushion (as visible in the photo), a wear defect easily repairable by a tailor or upholsterer and that does not affect the overall aesthetic of the living room once arranged, along with a few scratches on the aluminum frames.
Dimensions: 3-seat sofa: Length 189 cm, depth 67 cm, height 69 cm.
Armchairs: Width 70 cm, depth 95 cm, height 58 cm.
Shipping and Pickup: Given the volume of the lot, on-site collection by the buyer is preferred. Alternatively, the seller is available to coordinate with the private courier or with the transport company engaged directly by the auction winner.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
