$5,000.00
Sold Out

Italy, 1967. Original red vinyl upholstery. This particular piece comes from the Walker Art Center’s 2016 exhibit, Hippie Modernism: the Struggle for Utopia.

Designed in 1967 by the Italian radical design group Archizoom, this was the first sofa without a conventional frame. It is composed of two waves made from a polyurethane block cut into two parts with an S—shaped incision, which can be interlocked and stacked to produce different configurations. The lightness and modular design permit a range of various uses: Superonda can be a sofa, a bed or a chaise longue. Like many of the pieces designed by the Archizoom group, it challenges bourgeois conventions, stimulating the creativity and fantasy of the user.

Dimensions: 39.5ʺW × 94.5ʺD × 13.8ʺH

Condition: Wear consistent with age, some scuffing to edges, one 2cm tear on the bottom edge of the larger piece
