Item Description

Elegant ‘Lauriana’ sofa designed by Afra & Tobia Scarpa for B&B Italia in 1978, representing the designers’ sophisticated approach to Italian postmodern furniture. This striking example features removable eggplant-colored velvet upholstery, beautifully accented by camel leather piping. The combination of the rich, deep velvet and warm leather creates a refined and tactile contrast, while the generous proportions give the sofa a relaxed yet sophisticated presence. The sofa rests on a sleek steel frame with discreet plastic feet and includes two loose seat cushions, allowing for a comfortable and versatile seating experience. The removable upholstery is both practical and visually distinctive, emphasizing the sculptural character of the design. The sofa retains its original B&B Italia label and remains in good vintage condition, with only minimal signs of wear consistent with age and use. A sophisticated example of late 1970s Italian design by one of Italy’s most influential design partnerships.
