Privè Sofa

Production Arflex
Product Details
Sofa designed by Paolo Nava for Arflex, 1987.
Privè reflects a moment in Italian design when structural experimentation, comfort and new materials were being explored with particular freedom. Its aluminium mesh and tubular aluminium frame are upholstered in black leather, creating an inclined, enveloping volume shaped by soft, continuous curves. The sofa has an understated yet distinctive presence, combining the lightness of its aluminium construction with a generous, comfortable form. Produced by Arflex in 1987, it is an especially interesting piece for collectors of late twentieth-century Italian design.
Design: 1987
Dimensions: W 190 × D 90 × H 110 cm
Paolo Nava
Born in Seregno in 1943, Paolo Nava is an Italian architect and designer trained in industrial design. After a period of study in England, in 1972 he co-founded the Citterio–Nava studio with Antonio Citterio, initiating a practice that significantly influenced the evolution of domestic design from the 1970s onward. His work focuses on defining functional and formal archetypes, developed through direct experimentation with materials and three-dimensional testing in the workshop. Nava conceives design as a rigorous and concrete process, where project, use, and durability over time are inseparable elements.
