(red, yellow, purple)

designer:
Gaetano Pesce

design year:
2005

manufacturer:
Meritalia, Italy

materials:
wooden structure with polyurethane and “fiberfill” padding
upholstered in 100% cotton velvet non-removable covers

notes:
Pesce’s “La Michetta” sofa system is composed of an armrest, two different sized seats and backs, and a vertical ‘menhir’ tower. Each piece can be freely positioned and combined with any of the other elements. Stainless steel clips are provided to ensure stability.

The name “La Michetta” refers to the puffy hard-crust bread familiar to Milan. The placement of the buttons on each of the elements is free and random, so each piece is unique.
