Cassina Maralunga fabric sofa

The sofa shown in the photo is the famous Maralunga by Cassina , an icon of Italian design designed by Vico Magistretti in 1973. The version pictured appears to belong to the Maralunga 40 Maxi family, a larger and more updated reinterpretation of the original model.

Here is an accurate and detailed description of the Maralunga sofa:

Iconic Design

The Maralunga is recognized for its generous shapes , soft, welcoming appearance, and the ingenious mechanism that allows you to adjust the height of the backrest . This invisible system allows each module to transform from a low backrest to a high headrest with a simple manual movement, responding to a variety of ergonomic needs.

In the model in the photo, the three backrests are in different positions, highlighting this transformable functionality: the central one is lowered, while the two lateral ones are raised.
