MARECHIARO

The extreme formal essentiality of these upholstered elements, designed in 1976 by the architect Mario Marenco, still makes them a very current model. The Marechiaro, designed in 1976, is extremely flexible thanks to its extreme formal essentiality. The collection is composed of an armchair, two or three-seats sofa, and a pouf which combined allows never-ending compositions. Each element (backrest, seat, armrest) is upholstered and covered separately, so you can change the cover if you wish to. This sofa is available in a wide range of graded fabrics and leather.
