Design: Mauro Lipparini
Upholstered sofa with a single-shell seat cushion, built on a solid and multilayer wood frame with elastic webbing and multi-density polyurethane padding. The armrest and backrest panels, decorated with grosgrain bands and leather piping, define the tailored design. The double-finish metal rear trim signs the profile, while the seat is completed by Memory Foam® and feather cushions.
