This high-quality sofa is an early production by Cassina and designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa in circa 1964.
Model 920 is so pure in design. But is a beautiful example of craftsmanship with luxurious materials. The natural leather is of the softest and best kind, combined with a hardwood frame.
The sofa has beautifully supple patinated leather cushions that continue onto the side and back rests.
Afra (1937-2011) & Tobia (1935-) Scarpa are award-winning postmodern Italian architects and designers.
