Mid-century furniture by Saporiti Italia (Italy)

Saporiti Italia is a mid-century Italian furniture maker with a reputation for avant-garde and enduring designs. The company was founded in 1950 by furniture designer Sergio Saporiti, who had a vision of creating pieces that were both stylish and functional.

Saporiti was inspired by the work of Scandinavian designers, who were known for their use of natural materials and simple lines. He also drew inspiration from the industrial design movement, which was experimenting with new materials and technologies.

In the early years, Saporiti collaborated with a number of other Italian designers, including Alberto Rosselli, Giovanni Offredi, and Mario Bellini. These collaborations resulted in some of the company's most iconic pieces, such as the Confidential sofa, the Moby Dick chaise lounge, and the Jumbo chair.

In the 1970s, Saporiti continued to innovate and experiment with new materials and designs. The company introduced a number of plastic and fiberglass more... pieces, as well as more organic and curvilinear forms.

Saporiti Italia's furniture remains in high demand, and the company's designs are considered to be some of the finest examples of mid-century modern furniture. less...
