Note

Sofa deux places à croisillons, attribué à Paolo Buffa, vers 1950

Le bois sombre, d'un brun chaud aux reflets rouges, trace une seule ligne continue : l'accotoir naît du montant arrière, s'élance en courbe puis retombe en pied sabre à l'avant. Entre ces deux gestes, des croisillons en X ajourent les côtés et laissent passer la lumière. Les pieds s'évasent légèrement, avec une élégance nerveuse. Sur cette structure fine reposent des coussins épais, garnis d'un tissu ivoire au grain bouclé, deux au dossier, un à l'assise, dont le blanc fait ressortir la profondeur du bois.

La galerie attribue ce sofa à Paolo Buffa. Né à Milan en 1903, mort dans la même ville en 1970, Buffa étudie au Politecnico, collabore avec Gio Ponti, puis s'associe dès 1928 à Antonio Cassi Ramelli avant d'ouvrir son propre studio six ans plus tard. Ses meubles marient le néoclassicisme et l'Art déco à des principes modernistes, et sont exécutés par des ateliers comme ceux de Serafino Arrighi ou de Marelli et Colico, avec qui il travaille après la guerre. Aucune estampille ni aucun dessin d'origine ne sont mentionnés ici.

The dark wood, a warm brown with red lights, draws a single continuous line: the arm rises from the back post, sweeps forward in a curve, then drops into a sabre leg at the front. Between these two gestures, X-shaped cross-braces open up the sides and let the light through. The legs flare slightly, with a taut elegance. On this slender frame rest thick cushions covered in an ivory fabric with a bouclé grain, two for the back and one for the seat, their white deepening the tone of the wood.

The gallery attributes this sofa to Paolo Buffa. Born in Milan in 1903 and died there in 1970, Buffa studied at the Politecnico, worked with Gio Ponti, then joined Antonio Cassi Ramelli in 1928 before opening his own studio six years later. His furniture marries neoclassicism and Art Deco with modernist principles, and was made by workshops such as those of Serafino Arrighi or Marelli and Colico, with whom he worked after the war. No stamp and no original drawing are mentioned here.
