rare and highly sculptural kidney-shaped designer sofa by Desalto, Italy, combining bold postmodern aesthetics with exceptional Italian craftsmanship.
This striking piece features a luxurious white bouclé teddy fabric seat paired with an elegant floating red upholstered backrest, creating a dramatic visual contrast and a truly unforgettable silhouette. Resting on a minimalist chrome-plated steel frame, the sofa appears almost weightless while offering excellent comfort and stability.
Its organic biomorphic form embodies the spirit of late 20th-century Italian design, where furniture became both functional seating and collectible art. Whether placed in a living room, boutique hotel, gallery, showroom, dressing room, office, or design-focused interior, this piece immediately becomes the focal point of the space.
An authentic Desalto production, retaining its original manufacturer labels and presented in outstanding condition.
