Living room set composed by a four-seat sofa and two armchairs. All the pieces with wood feet are upholstered with a white fabric. The proportions as the curved and enveloping lines of the back make this set especially elegant. This model has the characteristic of having overflowing armrests which offer a graceful profile and lighten the volume. With lines very architecturals, this model appears in the 1960s.
