De Pas, D’Urbino and Lomazzi Modular Settebello Sofa Zanotta, Italy, 1974

$11,675
Description

The rebellious trio of De Pas, D’Urbino & Lomazzi met while studying at Milan’s renowned Polytechnic. Their radical seating designs include 1967’s Blow, the first mass-produced piece of inflatable living room furniture, and Joe, a 1970 armchair shaped like a baseball glove mounted on invisible wheels. 

The gloriously blocky Settebello sofa is vaguely conventional by comparison. Produced for Zanotta, it is a modular system that makes no distinction between seats, backs and armrests. Instead, six square units with a double stitching detail are secured with wide sections of fabric.

The sofa has been reupholstered, as per the original, in a black fabric that attaches to the velcro straps directly, enabling it to be joined and configured to the specification of the sitter.

Béton Brut

Béton Brut presents rare, design-led furniture from Europe and Japan. The collection, drawn from over a century of design, coheres around functional art & sculptural forms. Béton Brut comes from the concrete finish used in modernist architecture. It is rational yet organic, just like the collection.
