Notturno a New York Sofa
DESIGNED BY Gaetano Pesce
FOR Cassina
The New York skyline in a sofa, from the genius of Gaetano Pesce.
The design becomes narrative in this visionary work that began as the second chapter of a story begun in the 1980s with Tramonto a New York, the work with which Pesce surprised his adoptive city at sunset to then return the image through a series of spacious upholstered pieces arranged as it if to reproduce its skyline.
The three-seat sofa comprises nine skyscraper-elements that serve as seats and armrests, joined to one another by fasteners. The backrest portrays a giant full moon of which Pesce reveals to the world its mysterious side, not visible from Earth.
