About the Item

An important Italian living room set from the 1980s, consisting of a three-seater sofa and two matching armchairs, designed in the style of Gerrit Rietveld’s Neoplastic movement. The piece stands out for its rigorous geometric structure in black-lacquered wood, characterized by orthogonal lines and an architectural aesthetic reminiscent of the De Stijl movement. The backrests are embellished with circular upholstered elements and a unique central triangular detail that gives the piece a strong sculptural identity. The recently redone upholstery features an elegant geometric pattern in shades of blue, gray, and white that further enhances the postmodern character of the furnishings. Ideal for designer interiors, galleries, boutiques, hotels, or prestigious private residences, it is a rare example of the Italian interpretation of Rietveld-inspired rationalist aesthetics.
