Product Description

The Canapé model L4 with polished modular walnut frame with large corner ball finials, with loose single seat mattress and back cushions covered in Rose Uniacke Textured Wool in Snowdrift
Italy, circa 1960

The Chesa Laria design is characteristic of a post-war era shaped by the radical changes of modernization: the need to reconcile the technological advances of industrial development with a look to historical continuity. Utilising modularisation and a pronounced aesthetic simplicity, Caccia references both the past and present, with a playful take on shape and line (as with the boldness of the finials). Epitomizing the values of the Milanese aristocracy to which he was born, the sofa manages to combine the broad scope of cultural memory with an instinctive formal restraint, his work offering a meticulous synthesis of historical awareness and imaginative audacity.
Seat height: 48.5cm / 19"
