Cestone - Cestone 09 | Antonio Citterio | 2008
The Cestone sofa was designed to be placed at the center of the living room. In the spotlight are the sofa’s back and sides, parts that cannot usually be counted on to bring added value. Instead, the back and sides of the Cestone sofa are made from metal frames upholstered with woven strips of cowhide. The strips are in two different widths, and two options are available for the irregular woven pattern. The cowhide strips can be closely woven, forming a compact surface; or more loosely woven, allowing the underlying upholstery fabric to show through. The resulting ‘checkerboard’ pattern makes a strong visual statement in aesthetically-pleasing contrast to the soft, perfectly-proportioned upholstered parts. The Cestone sofa can be paired with its eponymous coffee tables with wood top in a selection of stain finishes that create a delightful textural contrast with the warmth of the cowhide.
