Vintage Italian 'Vienna' Black Metal Settee by Rodney Kinsman for Bieffeplast - 2 Available
An Italian 'Vienna' settee designed by Rodney Kinsman for Italian manufacturer Bieffeplast, Padova, in the 1980s. Its scale is intimate, but the form has a distinct presence.
The tubular black metal frame is defined by sweeping curved arms that wrap around the upholstered body, creating a continuous silhouette that feels both structured and inviting. The geometry is softened by a petite half-round backrest and cushioned seat, upholstered in the original off-white fabric.
There is a tension between the precision of the frame and the softness of the upholstery. The dark tubular structure establishes the form, while the pale fabric introduces warmth and lightness.
Designed as much for its presence as its function, the settee sits comfortably within interiors that value strong lines, considered proportions, and the expressive possibilities of modern design.
Sold and priced individually.
