Tramonto A New York Sofa

Italian master and design icon Gaetano Pesce’s Tramonto A New York is re-edited by Cassina, main­tain­ing all the expres­sive power and rele­vance of the 1984 orig­i­nal. The three-seater inte­rior land­scape is a tribute to Pesce’s adopted city. It is a piece of furni­ture that aims to redeem the mere func­tion­al­ism of the design, reflect­ing on the iden­tity of a metrop­o­lis, synony­mous with dynamism, revo­lu­tion, and energy using a pop-art mode. 

The Tramonto A New York design sofa is repro­duced 20% larger than the archive model in a limited series of 50 pieces. The indi­vid­u­ally crafted skyscrap­ers are uphol­stered in an exclu­sive fabric whose raised rectan­gu­lar texture places light and shadow side by side, creat­ing the effect of light bounc­ing off windows. In contrast, the setting sun, wrapped in vivid red satin, drops between the build­ings to form the back­rest. All elements have a plywood frame, an elastic webbing, and a struc­ture of natural rubber covered in recy­cled PET poly­ester batting encased in fabric. To guar­an­tee the authen­tic­ity of this special edition, each sofa bears a satin finish steel plate with the Cassina logo, the name of the design, the serial number, the name, and the artist’s signa­ture. Like all new Cassina prod­ucts, Tramonto a New York uses circu­lar mate­ri­als devel­oped through the work of Cassina LAB.
