Consisting of a linear sofa and two armchairs, the set stands out for its fluid, enveloping lines, expertly blending aesthetics and comfort.

The formal structure of the elements is characterized by sculptural yet slightly raised volumes, supported by elegant, slender conical brass legs, lending the ensemble a sense of airy lightness and dynamism. The backrests and seats feature curvaceous padding, designed to offer ergonomic support and a feeling of maximum relaxation. The distinctive element, however, lies in the iconic, contoured, high backrest, which creates a welcoming nest and a visually powerful, almost theatrical aesthetic.

The version featured here is distinguished by a vibrant emerald green faux leather upholstery with a delicate textured finish reminiscent of a wave or reptile, adding a touch of bold, luxurious tactility. This intense and sophisticated hue, paired with the warm sheen of brass, immediately captures attention, making the set the undisputed centerpiece of any space. The choice of leather, in particular, ensures durability and ease of maintenance, combining practicality with elegance.

Very good condition considering its age, with minor marks and small nicks as shown in photos.
