Marco Zanuso “Square” Living Room Set for Arflex, 1962
Description
Marco Zanuso “Square” Living Room Set for Arflex, Italy, 1962.
The design of Marco Zanuso’s “Square” sofa, produced for Arflex in 1960s, reflects his commitment to modernist design and innovation. The sofa, restored and reupholstered in the natural tones of beige with a dark brown decorative cord on the cushions and armrests, showcases a high, comfortable backrest that evokes the classic club style, combining formal elegance with functional comfort. The legs, crafted from turned dark wood and enameled black metal, create a balanced structure that supports the minimalist form. Zanuso, known for his collaborations with Arflex and experimentation with new materials, approached this project with his signature focus on ergonomics and industrial production techniques. The “Square” series highlights his ability to blend sculptural aesthetics with everyday usability, a hallmark of his work from the 1960s. His design philosophy, which aimed to enhance both comfort and durability, is evident in the sofa’s clean lines and resilient structure.
