Saratoga sofa by Vignelli Associates

The series consists of an armchair and two-, three-, or four-seater sofas. The rigid structure, made by assembling four parts of equal thickness with rounded edges, contains slightly protruding seat cushions. The sought-after purity of the silhouette is accentuated by the precious finishes: high-gloss polyester lacquer for the frame, similar to that of a piano, and fine leather for the soft cushions, resembling the upholstery of luxury cars. The essential form, combined with the precision of the design and the refinement of the finishes and details, makes this project by Lella and Massimo Vignelli timeless, transcending the passing trends they always avoided.
