Product description
This rare three-seater sofa by Finnish deisgner Ilmari Tapiovaara for Paolo Arnaboldi was a commission of the Italian manufacturer La Permanente Mobili Cantù in 1957. The production of this model was short and ceased in the 1960s.
This mid-century design premiered at the “Seconda Mostra Selettiva e Concorso Internazionale del Mobile’” in Cantù, Italy in the same year, and won the gold medal for ‘Living Room Design’. It is easy to see why Tapiovaara’s design was generously awarded in Italy: from the leather support straps to the elegant brass details, this three-seater sofa has a modern yet organic look paired with exquisite Italian craftsmanship in its execution.
The original pillows of this three-seater can be added on request for reference. We would however strongly recommend having them redone. Please don’t hesitate to ask us for the best possibilities, for as we work with some of the best upholsterers in the Netherlands.
