Giovanni Offredi for Saporiti – Modular Velvet Sofa Set with Coffee Table, Italy 1970s

Rare and iconic modular seating set designed by Giovanni Offredi for Saporiti Italia in the 1970s. This authentic vintage ensemble includes three lounge chairs and a matching coffee table, all still in their original velvet upholstery in a striking burned orange and black patchwork.
