Product description
Marenco XL Sofa by Mario Marenco for Arflex, 1970s
Premium Cognac Brandy Aniline Leather Lounge Sofa on an Internal Steel Frame
Designed in 1970 by Italian architect and designer Mario Marenco for Arflex, the Marenco sofa stands as one of the most recognizable icons of post modern Italian design. Its sculptural softness, combined with a highly engineered internal structure, redefined the concept of comfort seating in the 1970s and continues to resonate in contemporary interiors. In this exceptional XL configuration, the piece transcends its function and becomes an architectural presence, perfectly suited for refined Ibizian, Mediterranean and warm minimal spaces.
At first glance, the sofa appears as a composition of oversized, relaxed cushions, yet beneath this softness lies a sophisticated internal metal frame system that anchors each element with precision. This interplay between visual informality and structural rigor is what defines the Marenco. This particular example has been newly upholstered in high quality aniline leather in a deep cognac brandy tone, a warm and saturated hue that interacts beautifully with natural light and enhances the sculptural depth of the design.
The condition is outstanding. The new leather upholstery is executed to a high standard, with beautifully tensioned surfaces and crisp seams that enhance the original geometry of the design. The cushions retain their full volume and comfort, providing a seating experience that is both supportive and inviting, far exceeding expectations suggested by its relaxed appearance.
Beyond its comfort, the Marenco is a design statement. It bridges eras effortlessly, equally at home in a 1970s modernist interior as in a contemporary architectural setting. In this rare XL format of 355 cm, the sofa moves beyond furniture into the realm of collectible design, offering scale, presence and timeless appeal for discerning collectors and high end interiors.
