Product description
Very rare ‘Life’ sofa in very good condition.
Designed by Roberto Monsani in 1975 and manufactured by Acerbis in Italy.
When imagining new ways of living, Monsani envisioned furniture that could reshape the home.
The Life sofa is a striking result of that vision. So avant-garde that it was never mass-produced at the time, the design still feels remarkably modern today.
The sofa features its distinctive acrylic structure, which gives the piece its iconic and architectural appearance. The generous cushions have been reupholstered in a high-quality, rich velvet fabric, adding a luxurious look and feel.
Designed for relaxed, informal lounging, the soft cushions provide exceptional comfort, while the rounded shapes enhance the sofa’s inviting character.
Configuration:
Two 2-seater elements (180 cm)
One ottoman (90 cm)
A rare and sculptural modular sofa that perfectly reflects the experimental spirit of 1970s Italian design.
