the "elliptique" model represents one of the most innovative expressions of 1960s design: pure volumes, essential geometric lines, and a modular concept that allows for multiple configurations. The seats, characterized by the typical elliptical cavity with integrated cushion, create a sculptural effect with a strong visual impact while maintaining comfort and functionality.
the white fabric upholstery enhances the formal purity of the design, highlighting the interplay of solids and voids and the softness of the internal curves. The matching coffee table completes the composition, making the set ideal for lounges, reception areas, showrooms, or homes with a modernist and minimalist feel.
a distinctive element of govin's radical and experimental design, this set embodies the sculptural research typical of saporiti italia's 1960s production, today particularly appreciated by the international collectors' market.
a rare and fascinating ensemble, an iconic piece in a contemporary context. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
