An extraordinary piece of Italian Radical and Postmodern design.
Designed in 1981 by Austrian architect Hans Hollein for Poltronova , the Mitzi sofa is as much a piece of architecture as it is furniture, bold, sculptural and unmistakably collectible.
The design plays beautifully with opposing elements: a sweeping curved backrest against the strong linear base, soft upholstered forms against a rigid architectural frame, and the striking combination of black, red and white upholstery.
The cylindrical bolster cushions provide another distinctly theatrical element, giving the Mitzi its instantly recognisable silhouette.
Hollein was one of the most significant architects and designers of the late 20th century, later receiving the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1985. The Mitzi reflects his belief that architecture could extend far beyond buildings and into objects, furniture and everyday life.
Today, the Mitzi remains one of Poltronova's most distinctive designs, a statement piece for collectors of important Italian Radical, Postmodern and architectural furniture.
