The iconic sofa that narrates the hopes of a city. Tramonto a New York is a sofa that narrates a city, its decline, its rebirth and the boundless energy it’s renowned for.
Individually crafted, padded skyscrapers are upholstered in an exclusive fabric featuring an embossed rectangular pattern that combines light and dark areas to recreate the reflections of the sunlit windows.
Incontrast, the sun, upholstered in bright red satin, sets in the centre between the high-rise buildings that а reflection on the fate of a great city.
Designed in 1980, this sofa taught the world that design did not have to just be practical and functional but it could, and should, have meaning.
Gaetano Pesce (November 8, 1939) is an Italian artist, architect and designer, one of the brightest and most consistent representatives of art design.
An exclusive numbered series in limited edition Tramonto a New York, up-sized to a 20% larger version than the archive model, is now available in a one-size three-seater model. To guarantee the authenticity of this limited series of 50 pieces, each sofa has a satin finish steel plaque that bears the Cassina logo, the name of the design, its serial number and the name and signature of the artist, Gaetano Pesce.
Like all new Cassina products, Tramonto a New York uses circular materials developed thanks to the work carried out by Cassina LAB.
