Product Details

Product Description

The Soriana chaise lounge chair, crafted in grey leather, is an iconic design by renowned Italian designer duo Afra and Tobia Scarpa, produced in 1969 by Cassina. Embodying the quintessence of the Italian Mid-Century furniture design, the Soriana chair boasts a unique metal armour, providing support and containment to the cushions and backrest. The outstanding design with its large cushions and tufted surface create a vibrant and uncanny appearance that is hard to ignore. Afra, who passed away in 2011, and Tobia, born in 1935, both studied at the Venice Institute of Architecture. After graduating, Tobia started working for the famous Italian glassmaker Venini before joining forces with his wife to establish their own design firm in 1960. Over the years, they have worked for several Italian and international companies such as Flos, Gavina, B&B Italia, Cassina, and Knoll International, creating staggering furniture items and clothing. Their impressive portfolio encompasses various interior design projects for corporations worldwide. Notably, the Soriana chaise lounge chair has become an essential design in Italian furniture history, with a place in the Repertorio del Design Italiano 1950-2000 per L'Arredamento Domestico by Giuliana Gramigna.
