Vico Magistretti Maralunga 3-Seater Sofa for Cassina

Designed by Vico Magistretti in 1973, the Maralunga sofa is one of the most iconic Italian sofa designs of the late 20th century. Produced by Cassina, the model became famous for its adjustable backrest system, which allows each back cushion to fold between a low lounge position and a higher supportive backrest. The design quickly became a classic and remains one of Cassina’s most recognizable pieces.

This example is a three-seater version upholstered in its original brown wool velvet fabric with a subtle ribbed texture. The warm tone of the upholstery pairs beautifully with the soft sculptural form of the sofa. Each backrest can be individually adjusted, allowing the sofa to shift easily between a relaxed lounge seating position and a more upright sitting posture.

Original upholstery examples in good condition are increasingly difficult to find, which makes pieces like this particularly attractive for collectors and design enthusiasts.
