Executed in beautifully aged cherrywood, the frame showcases Buffa’s signature blend of sculptural clarity and decorative subtlety — most notably in the finely carved armrests, where the wood’s silhouette flows organically into the upholstered forms. Fully restored, with cushions partially replaced and reupholstered in a luxurious light blue fabric by Rubelli Venezia — a refined blend of cotton and chenille with a soft velvet effect. The same high-end textile is carefully applied to the armrests, enhancing the tactile experience and continuity of line. The result is an incredibly sophisticated ensemble that balances Italian modernism with artisanal richness. Perfect for refined interiors, lounges, or collector settings.
