Description from the seller
Splendid Sesann 3-seat sofa in brown dark brown leather
It is a first-production three-seat Sesann sofa, designed by Gianfranco Frattini for Cassina, Italy, around 1970.
The Sesann is famous for its sculptural silhouette and for the characteristic exposed chromed tubular frame, which elegantly wraps the generously padded upholstery.
It is upholstered in a splendid full-grain leather in the original dark-brown color of the period.
Launched by Cassina in 1969, the Sesann collection included a armchair, a two-seat sofa, a three-seat sofa and a coffee table.
Its innovative combination of visible steel structure and bulky polyurethane foam cushions cemented the series as one of the most representative icons of post-war Italian design.
The sofa is in excellent condition, the leather has no rips or tears, the padding is still excellent and the frame is perfectly intact, and it still bears the Cassina mark under the shell.
Finding an original sofa from the era with the original leather in these conditions is practically impossible to find on the market today.
Published in major design magazines, it is an icon of Italian design and a piece of furniture and investment, being a first production.
Dimensions: L 240 x D 100 x H 70 cm
If shipping is required, it will be carefully packed on a wooden crate and pallet and sent with a trackable shipment number.
P.S. For logistical and bureaucratic reasons I do not ship to the United States.
