D70 Sofa by Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno - 1954

A D70 sofa designed by Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno in 1954. Featuring an adjustable design, it doubles as both a sofa and a daybed. A central mechanism allows the seat and backrest to be set at various angles or folded fully flat. The design was first shown at the Triennale of Milan in 1954, where it won a Gold Medal.

This piece features the original satin nickel metal frame instead of the more common black painted base. This specific variant is harder to find on the market. The sofa has been reupholstered in the past in a red Tonica wool fabric by Kvadrat. The original manufacturer's mark is present on the frame.

The sofa remains in used vintage condition. The fabric on the front and seating shows general signs of wear consistent with age, while the fabric on the back of the backrest is faded due to sun exposure. The internal foam remains in very good condition. The metal frame is functionally intact; one back leg shows a distinct area of surface patina on the lower portion of the tube.

This 'LS 120' pendant lamp, designed by Carlo Nason for A.V. Mazzega in the 1970ties, consists of three layered sections of hand-blown opaline glass from the Venetian island of Murano.

While the larger counterpart features four layers, this highly rare 3-tier edition is exceptionally difficult to source, offering a slightly more compact and balanced silhouette while maintaining its iconic sculptural shape. The individual glass elements are crafted to fit together in one specific order, making every single piece unique. When lit, the combination of the different glass layers creates a beautiful, warm, and soft light.

Carlo Nason – hailing from a long line of Murano glassmakers – consciously broke away from traditional glassmaking techniques early in his career to explore modernist and geometric forms, resulting in this legendary collaboration with Mazzega.

The lamp is in very good vintage condition. The opaline glass is completely intact, with no chips or cracks. The metal hardware, ceiling rose, and suspension system show an authentic patina. The wiring and thin steel suspension cable are fully functional, and the height can be adjusted to your preference.

We have two lamps available of this model.

This is a rare three-seater sofa from the "Monte Carlo" series, designed by Ingvar Stockum in 1965. The production was handled by Futura Möbler, located in Tibro, which was the Swedish furniture manufacturing hub at the time. Due to high production costs associated with the solid wood frame, this model line was only manufactured for a brief two-year period, from 1965 to 1967.

The sofa features a frame constructed from solid rosewood. The design is finished on all sides with an open spindle frame along both the back and ends, allowing the sofa to be placed freestanding within a room.

The cushions of the sofa have been reupholstered. The textile used for the restoration is the Q532 Laundered quality from the Belgian weaving mill Libeco. This specific fabric is a heavy, piece-dyed linen-wool blend featuring a textured bouclé weave. The cushions feature a button-tufted finish, adhering to the layout of the original design. The frame remains in its original vintage condition, displaying wear consistent with the age of the object.

A black glazed terracotta sculpture depicting a sitting, roaring panther. This item was handcrafted in Italy circa 1960. The piece features a high-gloss black glaze with hand-painted yellow-orange details on the eyes, and pink and white details inside the mouth. With a height of 83 cm, this is a large model.

This type of expressive sculpture was popular during that time period. It shows a high level of realism, from the panther's expression to the rendering of its musculature.

The sculpture is made of terracotta and has been glazed. It remains in great condition.

Model 232 cabinet designed in 1951 by Børge Mogensen and manufactured by C.M. Madsen, Denmark. Later in 1964, Model A232 was added to the collection of FDB Møbler.

The cabinet which is also known as the ‘Chinese Cabinet’ combines a teak veneer casing with a oak base, while the interior is lined in contrasting light birch with adjustable shelves and two dovetail-jointed tray drawers. The doors are finished with circular brass key handles, which double as functional lock keys. This primary nod to its eastern influence is typical of Mogensen's signature. Often he was inspired by traditional furniture and redesigned these with a modernistic approach.

At the back panel retains the original stamp with FDB Møbler stamp and its model number 232.

M1 Dining Table - Angelo Mangiarotti

This 'M1' dining table was designed by Angelo Mangiarotti in 1969 for the Italian manufacturer Skipper. The piece is crafted from Arabescato marble and features a sculptural design where the round top is perfectly balanced on the conical base through the natural law of gravity.

The table is in very good condition. The original yellowed varnish has been professionally removed, after which the marble was honed and treated with a polished wax for a refined, natural finish. The table comfortably accommodates six chairs.

A pair of 'Monte Carlo' Armchairs

The Monte Carlo armchair was designed by Ingvar Stockum and produced by Futura Möbler in Sweden.

It was produced for a short period between 1965 and 1967, but was then discontinued as it was expensive to manufacture due to its heavy use of solid wood. The range mainly consisted of sofas, and relatively few armchairs were made.

This armchair has a solid rosewood frame and loose cushions.

These examples have been reupholstered in a velvety, raspberry-toned, 100% organic fabric by Mario Sirtori (Collection One). The upholstery features button-tufting on the backrest and armrests.

They are in very good condition with renewed upholstery.

Two 'Diamond' Chairs, designed by Harry Bertoia

The Diamond Chair is part of Bertoia’s 1952 wire collection for Knoll International.
The shell is formed from bent and welded steel rods, creating a geometric grid that provides structure and flexibility.

There are two versions available, one fitted with a full upholstered cover in yellow fabric, adding softness and volume while maintaining the clarity of the original wire structure. The other one has an open construction, giving the chair a light visual presence while maintaining strength.
The angled base supports the curved shell and allows for a relaxed seating position.

The chairs remain in their original vintage condition. The frame shows wear consistent with its age and regular use. As shown in the photos, the upholstery displays some fading and a few stains.
