ADRIANO PIAZZESI
Adriano Piazzesi was an Italian furniture designer, painter and sculptor. He was known for approaching projects in the light of the relationship between the object and its user. His work was an integral part of marketing and production, into which he poured his artistic sensibility and attitude. Piazzesi was active since the 1960's; he studied architecture, from which he acquired the taste for designing the structures underlying surfaces, yet his interests have never been limited solely to the professional aspect of a designer. Piazzesi stated, “I’ve always believed great works can be something like a poem written with a limited vocabulary. Simplicity need not hinder, but elevate.”
Adriano Piazzesi Italian 1970's sofa; the whole with channel and tufted upholstery, the sides and back are curved and covered in a warm brown Italian leather. The sofa is constructed of original solid wood structure and has been completely restored in our professional studio and is newly reupholstered in a Belgian textured creamy/white wool and cotton. The design, fabrication and form is highly indicative of the glamorous and playful style of Italy during the 1970's and would make a sculptural and statement piece for any interior style.
