The concept centers on a structural interplay between a rigid, polished chrome tubular steel frame and the soft, tactile quality of its cushions. The name, meaning “lace,” describes the unique method of securing the upholstery within the frame using straps, a move that exposed the structural skeleton rather than concealing it, creating a sense of transparency and lightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAulenti’s approach transformed this seat from a merely decorative object into a functional, modular system. By juxtaposing industrial materials with artisanal assembly, she created a timeless silhouette that remains as aesthetically relevant today as it was in the mid-sixties. This “Stringa” sofa stands as a testament to Aulenti’s ability to marry industrial pragmatism with refined elegance, solidifying its status as a highly sought-after piece of Italian design history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modernab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57639010599285,"sku":null,"price":14282.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/5688\/7157\/files\/raw-005_8280827e-757c-44d1-aa7b-6704fc841450.jpg?v=1791557082","url":"https:\/\/modernabgallery.com\/products\/gae-aulenti-stringa-three-seater-sofa-for-poltronova-1962","provider":"Modernab ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
