B&B ITALIA ARNE SOFA
Designed to create the setting for leisure activities, Arne stands out for the curved shape that envelops the user. It is an invitation to socialise and share moments together, to converse and watch television shows on a large screen. Perfect in the centre of the room, when placed against the wall it loses none of the sense of comfort and lightness conveyed by the aluminium supports on which both the seat and backrest seem to be suspended.
This particular example has been freshly upholstered in ‘Sage’ velvet from the luxurious Madison range of Wortley fabrics. A hard wearing commercial grade velvet that is both soft and highly serviceable for years of enjoyment.
Please contact us should you have any questions about this beautiful sofa or would like to make an appointment to visit our Alexandria Studio.
