Maralunga Sofa: Three-Seater

USD $3,040.00 – $4,460.00

The Maralunga 3-Seater Sofa was originally designed by Vico Magistretti and first produced in 1973. This iconic sofa has a first-of-its kind design with its multi-position adjustable backrest.

The Maralunga’s unique headrest adjustment utilizes a bicycle chain embedded in the foam cushions to allow easy conversion from a low to high backrest position. This innovative design earned the Maralunga series the prestigious Compasso d’Oro award in 1979.

The Maralunga 3-Seat Sofa’s design with adjustable backrest is the archetype that all other adjustable backrest seating systems have since been modeled after.

Vico Magistretti

Vico Magistretti (1920-2006) was an influential Italian industrial designer and architect who helped shape modern Italian design. He began his career after graduating from Milan Polytechnic in 1945. Magistretti is renowned for his innovative furniture designs, particularly the Maralunga sofa (1973), which featured the first-ever adjustable headrest in a production sofa. His architectural works include the Chiesa di San Simpliciano in Milan and the Cusano Milanino town hall. Magistretti's designs often combine simplicity with ingenuity, earning him numerous awards including the Compasso d'Oro in 1967 and 1979. His work continues to influence contemporary furniture design, with many of his pieces considered icons of 20th-century design.
