Crafted with a curved wooden frame, the sofa stands out for its elegant yet understated lines, embracing a minimalist aesthetic free of decorative excess. The skillfully shaped wood, with its soft and continuous curves, conveys a sense of lightness that perfectly blends with the idea of comfort and durability.

The seat and backrest feature meticulous handwoven craftsmanship using twisted cord in a refined square pattern. This artisanal technique adds texture and depth to the design, highlighting the precision and care involved in its construction. The cord weaving not only enhances the visual appeal but also reflects the harmony between form and function, a key principle of Rationalist design.

This sofa is not just a piece of furniture but a true homage to the creative genius of Giuseppe Pagano, who revolutionized the concept of design through his work, advocating for a modern, accessible language rich in meaning. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
