A true statement piece, Tramonto a New York transposes the urban landscape into the domestic sphere. The generously upholstered volumes are covered in an exclusive textured fabric evoking the city's facades, while the central backrest in intense red satin depicts a setting sun slipping between skyscrapers. Between architecture, sculpture, and furniture, the sofa asserts a strong narrative dimension, emblematic of Gaetano Pesce's radical and expressive thinking in the late 1970s.

More than just a sofa, Tramonto a New York is a lived-in work, conceived as a visual and symbolic experience, while still maintaining a spacious and inviting seating function.

Very good overall condition.
