This set of two 'Erasmo' couches is a design by the celebrated duo Afra and Tobia Scarpa for the Italian manufacturer B&B Italia. The 'Erasmo' model, introduced in 1973, is known for its modular flexibility and monumental, yet comfortable, presence, a characteristic of Italian design from that period.
The couches are upholstered in dark brown leather that has a rich and deep color. The internal structure is made of iron and steel, ensuring a robust and durable construction. For comfort, a filling of Polysoft and Dacron has been used, materials known for their resilience and shape retention. This set consists of two separate couches, offering flexible arrangement options.
The overall condition of the set is consistent with its age and use, with the leather having developed a characteristic patina. The cushions retain their volume and the construction is solid, testifying to the high-quality production of B&B Italia. The set retains its original upholstery and appearance.
With their timeless aesthetic and generous proportions, these 'Erasmo' couches make a statement in a spacious living room. They fit perfectly into an interior with a preference for Mid-Century Modern, Italian design, or an eclectic style, where they offer both comfort and a piece of design history.
As you can see in the photos, some restoration work is needed: seating area under the cushion, headrest, and at the bottom of the armrests.
