Vintage Soriana Living Room Set, Afra & Tobia Scarpa for Cassina

This rare and highly collectible Soriana living room set by Afra & Tobia Scarpa for Cassina comprises a two-seat sofa, chaise longue, and matching footstool, upholstered in an opulent midnight blue bouclé. The richly textured fabric enhances the Soriana’s iconic, voluptuous form while offering a subtle interplay of color—deep blue hues shift gracefully toward notes of violet as the light changes, adding depth and visual intrigue. Exceptionally tactile and inviting, the bouclé underscores the design’s inherent comfort and relaxed elegance. First introduced in 1969, the Soriana is celebrated for its radical construction and distinctive gathered silhouette, secured by a polished chromed steel band that both supports and defines the form. This sculptural fastening is emblematic of the Scarpas’ innovative approach and stands as a hallmark of refined 1970s Italian modernism. The set presents in very good vintage condition overall. The chaise longue and footstool show minimal signs of use, while the two-seat sofa has been enjoyed more over time, resulting in slightly softer seating—consistent with age and authentic use, and contributing to its inviting character. A rare opportunity to acquire a complete Soriana ensemble, this set is at once sculptural and supremely comfortable—an enduring statement of modern luxury and iconic Italian design.
