The Tramonto a New York Sofa is designed by Gaetano Pesce for Cassina with base in beech plywood, painted black; CARB* certified plywood frame for the American market and elastic webbing; metal fasteners painted black.
Cushions padded in polyurethane foam with a percentage of polyols deriving from biological sources and recycled PET wadding, with upholstery in fabric and red satin.
Each sofa bears a satin finish steel plate with the Cassina logo, the year of the design, the serial number and the name and signature of the artist, Gaetano Pesce.
20th century design icon, The Tramonto a New York sofa, has been reproduced in an exclusive limited series of 50 pieces, maintaining all of its expressive power and the relevancy of the original 1980 design when Gaetano Pesce, wanted to tribute his adopted city. He designed it to pay homage to the city that adopted him. The Tramonto a New York sofa is characterized by a shapethat goes beyond the customary approach to seating and becomes architecture: padding filled, individually crafted skyscrapers upholstered in an exclusive fabric whose raised rectangular texture places light and shadow side by side, creating the effect of light that reflects off the windows.
To portray the particular moment when the sun drops between the buildings of Big Apple the designer has added a back cushion wrapped in vivid red satin.
Tramonto a New York is a piece of furniture that aims to redeem the mere functionalism of the design expressing – clearly inspired by Pop Art – an obvious reflection on the contemporary vibe and identity of a metropolis synonymous with dynamism, revolution and energy.
