NOTTURNO A NEW YORK By Cassina
The New York skyline in a sofa, from the genius of Gaetano Pesce. Design becomes narrative in this visionary work that returns in a special series of 50 pieces. This imaginative creation is a new chapter in a story begun in the 1980s with Tramonto a New York, the work with which Pesce surprised his adoptive city at sunset to then return the image through a series of spacious upholstered pieces arranged as if to reproduce its skyline. The three-seat sofa combines eloquent energy and meticulous structural functionality. The system comprises nine skyscraper-modules that serve as seats and armrests, joined to one another by fasteners. The backrest portrays a giant full moon – through this work, Pesce reveals to the world its mysterious side, not visible from Earth. Cassina reinterprets Notturno a New York in a version with a conscious soul. The padding of the new edition is made of recycled PET fibre, introduced as standard in the upholstered pieces, and reducing to a minimum the use of polyurethane, crafted with a percentage of polyols derived from biological sources. The upholstery is in an exclusive fabric with a design made specifically for this product.
Cassina designs complete, comfortable and inviting living spaces where the most innovative products of contemporary design coexist alongside icons by the great masters of the Modern Movement.
