For sale, a rare and iconic pair of modular lounge armchairs from the "Blop" series, designed by the famous architect Carlo Bartoli in 1972 for the historic Italian brand Rossi di Albizzate. These are two independent single modules that can be combined to form a continuous two-seater sofa or positioned separately. State of conservation: The two modules are in good overall vintage condition, healthy in the wooden supporting structure and stable on the original feet. The velvet fabric features very vivid mirrored graphic patterns in shades of red, burgundy and orange, without tears or holes. There are normal signs of aging related to use (partial crushing of the velvet pile in the central seating points and accumulations of surface dust that can be removed with light cleaning). Under the body there is the original paper label from the manufacturer Rossi di Albizzate. Collection by hand in Palermo or shipping via specialized courier managed by intOndo.
