Mobilia modular lounge sofa Italy 1965

This rare modular sofa, designed and made by Mobilia in Italy during the 1960s, is a beautiful example of mid-century modern design. The sofa features teak veneered plywood outer shells that create a warm, natural contrast with the sleek black leather seating parts. This combination of materials highlights the timeless elegance of the era, with the rich wood tones balanced perfectly by the bold sophistication of the leather.

The modular design allows for ultimate flexibility, consisting of two end parts with armrests, one corner piece, and three middle sections. Each piece can be easily connected to form various configurations, making the sofa adaptable to different spaces and uses. This versatility not only adds to its practicality but also enhances its aesthetic appeal, allowing the design to change with the needs of the room.

A charming and distinctive feature of the sofa is the wooden cube detail on the sides, which gives the illusion of holding the entire structure together. While purely aesthetic, this playful touch adds a unique visual element and highlights the creativity and thoughtfulness in the design. The sofa’s modularity also ensures comfort and functionality, offering a relaxing seating experience while maintaining an elegant and clean-lined look. It’s a wonderful balance of form and function, embodying the design principles of the 1960s in both material choice and manufacturing possibilities.

In very good original condition with only minor age-related wear, this piece is a rare find, showcasing Mobilia’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Given its exceptional design and condition, it remains a stunning and practical addition to any collection or living space.
