ABOUT PRODUCTID 36716
The Sity sofa, designed by Antonio Citterio for B&B Italia in the 1980s, exemplifies Italian postmodernism. Its construction features a solid, low base with no visible legs, emphasizing a monolithic silhouette. The primary material is a matte, velvet-like fabric in a vivid, cool-toned red, consistently covering the seat, backrest, and large, plush cushions. Distinctive cylindrical black armrest supports introduce a geometric accent. The design is defined by a deep, low seat and generous proportions, prioritizing comfort and casual presence. The upholstery has a uniform, slightly textured surface, with minor pilling, a small stain on the seat, and light rubbing on the front edge of one armrest. The sofa remains in its original, authentic condition, with no signs of major restoration—showing only the typical marks of use expected from furniture of this era.This sofa tells the story of Italian design in the 1980s—a period when bold color choices met the search for new forms and a sense of effortless luxury. The red velvet speaks of the era’s expressive energy, while the soft, overstuffed cushions invite relaxation. Its monolithic form, contrasted with black details, seems to whisper of modernist discipline, yet with a playful and daring spirit so characteristic of Italian interiors at the close of the decade.The sofa could be paired with a low coffee table in glass or metal to accentuate its geometric lines. It would complement a postmodern or collector’s eclectic interior, especially alongside sculptural lamps and decorative wall art. Combining it with neutral textiles or a subdued rug will highlight the intensity of the red; soft lighting and black-accented accessories will emphasize its contemporary yet timeless appeal.
