A striking example of Rietveld's architectural approach to furniture design, the Utrecht sofa combines a distinctive curved silhouette with strong geometric lines and sculptural proportions. Its gently sweeping backrest and seat contrast beautifully with the angular armrests, creating a sophisticated balance between softness and structure.

The sofa has been professionally reupholstered in a luxurious, richly textured fabric by Gastón y Daniela. The upholstery features a sophisticated blend of earthy tones, with a deep chocolate brown base and subtle salt-and-pepper variations that create depth and visual interest. The tactile fabric beautifully enhances the architectural character of the design, giving this iconic piece a warm and contemporary appearance.

with its generous curved form and distinctive angular armrests, the Utrecht sofa is a true statement piece, equally suited to a refined contemporary interior or a more eclectic setting. Its sculptural presence allows it to stand beautifully on its own, almost as a piece of functional architecture.

A remarkable example of Italian furniture production based on one of the most influential Dutch modernist designs, combining Rietveld's architectural vision with Cassina's craftsmanship.

Presented in very good vintage condition following its professional reupholstery.
