About Afra & Tobia Scarpa "Soriana" lounge chairs for Cassina, black leather and metal, Italy, 1969, set of two. Although technically designed in the 1960s, the "Soriana" model by the Italian duo Tobia and Afra Scarpa is firmly associated with the next decade, when its popularity peaked. "Soriana" is low and invites you to sink into its curves. Its most notable feature, however, is the Minimalist structure in chromed steel. This external structure in steel rod keeps the cover taut using buttons at the seat, allowing it curl in the points where it folds to descend along the sides and back. The metal parts, creating a T shape, embrace the seat and enclose the polyurethane filter like a vice. "Soriana" won the Compasso d'Oro prize in 1970. Afra Bianchin (1937-2011) and Tobia Scarpa (1935) began their long collaboration in 1957. Starting from 1960, they collaborated with companies like Gavina, B&B Italia, and Cassina. Innovators and unconventional thinkers developed numerous projects discovering new ways of mixing different materials and shapes. Their pieces are exhibited in many museums worldwide, collections the MoMa in New York and the Musée du Louvre in Paris. Our atelier carefully restored and reupholstered the products in black leather. Slight signs of use and time. The lounge chairs can be reupholstered in any material. Our atelier would be glad to customize the finishing of your piece.
Afra & Tobia Scarpa "Soriana" 2-seater sofa, leather and metal, Italy, 1969. The Soriana lounge chair is low and soft and invites the sitter to sink into it. Its special feature is the outer cage made of chromed steel. It gives shape to this otherwise shapeless design. Soriana's upholstery is made of polyurethane foam and Dacron fibre, covered with wool or leather and encased in a chrome steel clip. Two parts make up the outer cage. Two steel plates connect them to the base. Then, two covered buttons placed on the sides of the backrest connect the cover to the external support elements. In addition, two covered buttons on the front of the backrest tighten the cover to improve its shape. This is possible because a wire connects them to two plastic supports embedded in the back of the clamp. In the same way, four covered buttons are placed on the seat and connected to the base. The base is made of black lacquered beech. Near the front of the base there is the Cassina paper mark. Afra and Tobia Scarpa designed Soriana in 1969 for the Italian company Figli di Amedeo Cassina, after the great success of the 924 chaise longue, the 121 chairs and the Ciprea armchair. In those years, major innovations in polyurethane foam moulding techniques introduced new ways of designing sofas. Thus, the idea that gave birth to Soriana was to wrap a pile of wool with fabric to create a large package, giving it a support and a shape (without form) with an external steel clamp that grips it. The base is a tiny wooden plate. Afra and Tobia Scarpa originally designed a chaise longue. Later they extended the project to a whole range of chairs. Literature: Gramigna, Giuliana.

Lauréat du prix Compass D'Oro en 1970, le fauteuil Soriana a été conçu par Afra et Tobia Scarpa en 1969. Une structure métallique laquée rouge Chine brillant façonne ses volumes généreux, obtenus à partir d'un rembourrage en polyester et scellés par un revêtement moelleux d'une vibrante teinte mandarine. Monté sur des pieds et des roues en plastique et en acier, il peut être personnalisé en contactant le concierge.
L’idea stessa del confort che diventa poltrona. Soriana vede la luce nel 1969 da un’intuizione di Afra e Tobia Scarpa destinata a cambiare la storia degli imbottiti: approfittare delle nuove tecniche di formatura del poliuretano espanso per dar vita a una poltrona che, per la prima volta, non ha bisogno di un sostegno interno, ma prende forma dalla morsa della struttura in metallo che la accoglie. Giocata sull’equilibrio formale/informale, accogliente e aperta a nuove ritualità, Soriana è premiata nel 1970 con il Compasso d’Oro come capolavoro di complessità ottenuto con strumenti semplici. L’imbottitura interna a base di microsfere BioFoam®, una bioplastica di origine vegetale, è il risultato dell’aggiornamento sviluppato da Cassina con Tobia Scarpa nell’ambito del progetto Cassina LAB per la promozione del benessere e del design sostenibile. Il confort della seduta è ulteriormente aumentato grazie a un’imbottitura in fibra soffiata realizzata da PET riciclato al 100% proveniente da Plastic Bank®.
