A true 70s time capsule! This Afra & Tobia Scarpa 'Soriana' is one of a kind due to the fact that it is a 1970s production in pristine condition. It has been mostly covered since the day of the purchase making this piece a very rare find. Suffice to say, we still have the original plastic cover, with which it came upon sale, and a custom-made white cotton cover (quite handsome in its own right) which the original owner kept on at all times with a few exceptions. Both covers are included with the sale. Additionally, as a testament to its originality and the fact that the sofa was originally purchased in Italy, it has the Cassina sticker. As a further testament to its age, the color and material combination are quintessential representatives of the 70s vibe- a burnt orange suede. This is one lady that does not need a face -lift! Soft and low the Soriana invites you to sink into its seat - the padding is made of polyurethane foam and Dacron fiberfill, upholstered in suede leather and enveloped by a clamp made of chromed steel. Two parts compose the external cage while two steel plates link them with the basis. Additionally covered buttons on the sides of the backrest link the coating with the external support elements while more buttons placed on the front of the backrest tighten the upholstery to improve the shape - possible since a wire links them with two plastic supports embedded in the back of the clamp. Designed in 1969 after Afra and Tobia Scarpa took advantage of new polyurethane foam forming techniques and creating an armchair that, for the first time, needed no internal support rather taking its shape from the grip of the metal structure that embraces it. In 1970 Soriana was awarded the Compasso d’Oro as a masterpiece of complexity achieved through simple tools.

Part architectural intervention and part optical illusion, Lucid Stead is a recently unveiled installation by artist Phillip K Smith III in Joshua Tree, California. The artist modified an existing 70-year-old homesteader shack by introducing mirrors to create the illusion of transparency, as the structure now takes on the lighting characteristics of anything around it. LED lighting and other custom electronic components were further installed within the building’s interior to illuminate from the interior at night. More
