Description:
Iconic sofa “with wings” model D70 by Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno, designed in 1954.
Ours is a special edition from the 1960s in excellent condition, albeit with the original fabric.
Born as a sofa bed, the D70 has a mechanism that allows you to open the sofa until it completely overturns.
The D70 has two revolving wings, a metal structure while the opening mechanism consists of a lever with a fixing pin that hooks with holes in a graduated plate; operated effortlessly by a knob, it allows the backrest and seat to assume any angle and fold down to form a bed.
Presented for the first time at the X Triennale in 1954, it marks the direction taken by the newborn Tecno, founded in 1953.
Dimensions: height 81 cm, width 190 cm, depth 78 cm
( 31,8 x 74,8 x 30,7 in )
