These sleek, modern, 3-seater sofas called the “Veranda 3″ by Vico Magistretti, were made for Cassina circa 1980′s. Adjustable folding upper back and the outer 2 seats feature a swinging arm allowing to variably turn the sofa seats inward in a semi circle for closer conversation, and which simultaneously exposes the underlying rear lacquer shelf into triangular pie shapes between the seats, for holding glasses, books, or drinks. Wear consistent with age and use. Frame in matte black stained and lacquered ash wood. Black upholstery (not leather). In 1920 Magistretti was born in Milan, the city in which he graduated in architecture in 1945, and where his professional career has spun its story ever since, chiefly in the fields of architecture, town planning and industrial design. The first recognition of his work came in 1948, when he won the Gran Premio at the 8th Triennale. After that came almost forty years of activity with other prizes and awards in recognition of Magistretti’s work in various sectors in different countries. Giving lessons and lectures in various faculties of architecture and schools of design in Italy and abroad, from Milan to New York, from Paris to London, a city to which he is particularly devoted, he has been an “Honorary Fellow” of the Royal College of Art since 1983. Furniture, lamps and other objects that he designed may be found all over the world and the most important design museums have given exhibitions in his honour and kept examples of his work in their permanent collections.
