Iconic 1980s Paolo Piva 'Arca' Sofa for B&B Italia with Glass Arm Trays
Designed by Paolo Piva for B&B Italia in the 1980s, this iconic 'Arca' two-seat sofa features a distinctive postmodern silhouette with generous cushions upholstered in gray leather. The armrests integrate circular glass trays supported by black tubular steel frames, serving as functional built-in side tables. The low profile and plush structure embody the comfort-forward aesthetic of Italian design from the era. The leather shows visible wear and areas of deterioration, particularly on the seat and armrest surfaces, consistent with age and use. This piece retains its original structure and character.
