About the Item

Alberto Rosselli was among the defining figures of Italy's postwar industrial design revolution. Trained as an architect in Milan, he co-founded the influential journal Stile Industria in 1954 and became a leading voice in the discourse between industry and aesthetics. A professor at the Politecnico di Milano and a founding member of ADI (Associazione per il Disegno Industriale), Rosselli worked at the intersection of structural rigour and sensory experience. He died in 1976, leaving a body of work that helped shape the vocabulary of Italian modernism. The Confidential sofa, designed for Saporiti Italia in 1968, is one of Rosselli's most resolved statements. Its low-slung fiberglass shell — upholstered in generous cushioned sections — projects an air of calculated ease. Architectural in silhouette yet intimate in scale, it captures the mood of late-1960s Italian design: bold, forward-looking, and quietly subversive. Original examples in good condition are increasingly sought after by collectors of 20th-century Italian furniture.
