Featuring an adjustable design, it doubles as both a sofa and a daybed. A central mechanism allows the seat and backrest to be set at various angles or folded fully flat. The design was first shown at the triennale of milan in 1954, where it won a gold medal.

this piece features the original satin nickel metal frame instead of the more common black painted base. This specific variant is harder to find on the market. The sofa has been reupholstered in the past in a red tonica wool fabric by kvadrat. The original manufacturer's mark is present on the frame.

the sofa remains in used vintage condition. The fabric on the front and seating shows general signs of wear consistent with age, while the fabric on the back of the backrest is faded due to sun exposure. The internal foam remains in very good condition. The metal frame is functionally intact; one back leg shows a distinct area of surface patina on the lower portion of the tube.
