Segmented Orange Velvet Large Sofa with Five Backrests by Pietro Franceschini

Waldo W1 sofa by Pietro Franceschini Materials: Mohair Velvet Dimensions: W 210 x L 94 x H 57-93cm Designed during a creative momentum in the relaxed Italian Riviera Ligure, our new Urania collection brings playfulness and longing for those innocent days of our childhood. The soft lines and upholstered curves continue our research on Neotenic Design and Sculptural Furniture. What emerges is fluidity, innocence, sensuality and the frisky feminine and masculine. The modularity inspired by the classic DS-600 is reinterpreted with a fresh and current touch which makes Urania an instant iconic series. The pieces are locally manufactured in Milan and come in two versions: a unique ‘pleated version’ for the launch in Mexico City during the Transatlantico exhibition by Galerie Philia and a minimal and sleek version for the following production.
