the design is unmistakable: a curved backrest wraps the seat, while the armrests extend outward as flat, table-like planes — almost architectural in feel, and a world away from the soft, overstuffed leather seating of the previous decade. It's postmodern italian design at its most confident: sculptural, a little theatrical, and built to be looked at as much as sat in.

this example is in exceptional, fully original condition. The black leather is entirely untouched — no scratches, no chips, no cracking — which is genuinely uncommon for a piece of this age that saw regular domestic use. The moroso label is present underneath the cushions along with the original printed fabric.

a statement piece for anyone building a serious collection of italian postmodern design, or simply looking for a sofa with real presence, a true eye catcher for your interior.
