Piumino sofa De Pas, D’urbino and Lomazzi Italy 1970

The Piumino lounge sofa, designed by the renowned trio De Pas, D’Urbino, and Lomazzi, and crafted by Dall’Oca in Italy in 1970, is a perfect blend of playful design and timeless elegance. The sofa’s luxurious cognac leather upholstery showcases a beautiful, natural patina that has developed over time, giving it a unique character and warmth. The wrinkled stitching pattern adds a dynamic texture, enhancing the feeling that a soft blanket has been casually draped over the sofa. This clever design choice adds both visual interest and a sense of comfort.

Despite its vintage appeal, the leather remains in excellent condition with no signs of cracks or tears, a testament to its quality craftsmanship. The Piumino sofa is not only aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly comfortable, making it an inviting piece for any living space. While the listing is for the sofa only, it pairs beautifully with a matching set of lounge chairs, which can be purchased separately here to complete the ensemble.

The leather is reconditioned with a leather care product special for vintage leather. To give the leather some strength, color, and protection again after many years of usage.

Jonathan De Pas, Donato D’Urbino, and Paolo Lomazzi were an influential Italian design trio known for their playful and innovative approach to furniture and product design. Active from the 1960s, they challenged traditional design conventions by incorporating humor, pop culture, and experimental materials like plastic and polyurethane. Their iconic works, such as the Blow Chair (1967) and the Joe Sofa (1970), became symbols of postmodern design. Collaborating with leading manufacturers, they redefined the boundaries between art and functionality, creating pieces that are both practical and whimsical.
