Description from the seller
Immerse yourself in the organic flow of 1970s Italian design with the two-seater Wave sofa, a visionary icon created in 1974 by Giovanni Offredi for Saporiti Italia. Offredi, founder of the La Rinascente studio and a master of modernariato, revolutionized the concept of seating with undulating lines that evoke the movement of the sea, blending ergonomics and sculpture into perfect harmony.
Produced by the prestigious brand Saporiti, a synonym for craftsmanship of excellence since 1950, this sofa embodies the innovative spirit of the period: a satin-finished steel frame, sturdy yet lightweight, with elegant feet that elevate the profile, ensuring stability and an aura of suspended lightness.
The heart of the Wave is its original Missoni fabric covering, a textile masterpiece from the renowned Italian maison. The multicolored zig-zag pattern, with its hand-woven bouclé yarns, adds a touch of bohemian vibrancy and tactile luxury, soft to the touch and durable over time.
This authentic fabric, preserved in excellent condition without fraying or discoloration, harmoniously contrasts with the shiny metal, creating a dialogue between industrial opacity and organic texture. Ideal for contemporary lounges or eclectic spaces, the sofa invites moments of shared relaxation, enveloping bodies in a comfortable embrace thanks to injected polyurethane padding, which maintains its original shape. With compact yet welcoming dimensions – 183 cm wide, 114 cm deep, 71 cm high, with a backrest height of 40 cm and seat height of 40 cm – the Wave fits perfectly into urban environments, providing space for two without taking up too much room.
