"Soriana" 1970's Signed Rare Three Seater Sofa by Afra & Tobia Scarpa in Original Burnt Orange Suede for Cassina, Marked
Very rare Afra & Tobia Scarpa 'Soriana' authentic sofa made in 1972 by Cassina upholstered in a burnt orange suede. Soft and low the Soriana invites you to sink into its seat - the padding is made of polyurethane foam and Dacron fiberfill, upholstered in suede leather and enveloped by a clamp made of chromed steel. Two parts compose the external cage while two steel plates link them with the basis. Additionally covered buttons on the sides of the backrest link the coating with the external support elements while more buttons placed on the front of the backrest tighten the upholstery to improve the shape - possible since a wire links them with two plastic supports embedded in the back of the clamp.
This Soriana sofa is very unique due to the fast that it is in pristine condition as it has been covered since the day of the purchase making this 1972 piece a very rare find. That said, it is a very heavy piece weighing around 245 pounds.
Designed in 1969 after Afra and Tobia Scarpa took advantage of new polyurethane foam forming techniques and creating an armchair that, for the first time, needed no internal support rather taking its shape from the grip of the metal structure that embraces it. In 1970 Soriana was awarded the Compasso d’Oro as a masterpiece of complexity achieved through simple tools.
