Mitzi

The Mitzi sofa — 1981, for Poltronova — part of the rich production of the Austrian master Hans Hollein, highlights a rigorous design while staging of a dialectic between different connotations and symbolisms. Soft and rigid elements are present together in the materials and forms. Upholstered cushions and soft wool cloth come alongside the walnut, both solid and in sheets, of the structure, and the curved line of the backrest coexists with the straight line at the base, masculine and feminine together: a sofa with a woman’s name.
