The Triennale seater (often referred to as the Triennale sofa or settee) is a landmark piece of mid-century Italian design created by Marco Zanuso for Arflex in 1951.
It is named after the IX Milan Triennale, where it was first exhibited. This piece was revolutionary because it showcased Zanuso’s early experimentation with industrial materials like foam rubber and elasticated straps—technology originally developed by Pirelli—which moved furniture away from heavy, traditional internal springs toward lighter, more sculptural forms.
Key Details
Design Significance: Debuted at the IX Triennale di Milano, it was one of the first sofas to replace traditional springs with foam rubber (Latex/Pirelli foam) and elas, organic shape.
Structure: It typically features a slender metal frame with distinctive "stiletto" legs, giving it a light, floating appearance despite its comfort.
This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
