Lounge Sofa by Mario Franchioni for Framar, 1960s
Description: An elegant Italian lounge sofa designed by Mario Franchioni for Framar in the 1960s. This refined piece is defined by its architectural wooden frame combined with generously upholstered elements, creating a harmonious balance between structure and comfort.
The design consists of two lounge seats connected by a central wooden element, forming a unified composition. A distinctive feature of this piece is its flexibility: the two armchairs and the connecting table can be repositioned, allowing for multiple configurations depending on the space. This modular quality adds both versatility and a playful, functional aspect to the design.
The sculptural solid wood frame features slender tapered legs and integrated wooden surfaces that function as side tables. The open construction gives the sofa a light and elegant appearance, while the cushions provide a comfortable seating experience.
Upholstered in a dark blue velvet fabric, the cushions create a rich contrast with the warm tone of the wood, enhancing the overall sophistication of the piece. The subtle curvature and refined detailing reflect the craftsmanship and modernist sensibility of Italian design from this period.
A rare and versatile example of 1960s Italian modernism, combining elegance, comfort, and adaptability.
Condition: In very good vintage condition with minor signs of wear consistent with age and use.
Dimensions: W186 x D80 x H80 cm
Material: Solid wood frame, velvet upholstery, foam padding.
Period: 70s, Italy
