An iconic design and without a doubt one of the most beautiful sofas of all time. The Marenco sofa was designed by Mario Marenco in 1970 for Arflex and grew into one of the great classics of Italian design. Arflex itself still describes the model as a must of contemporary furniture, which says a lot about the enduring power of this design.
This is your chance to bring the stunning Mario Marenco sofa into your home. With its iconic design, timeless forms, incredible seating comfort , and silky-soft velvet upholstery , this sofa is a showpiece in any interior. The deep green velvet lends the whole a warm, rich presence and perfectly enhances the inviting character of the model.
The airy design with the intentionally rounded cushions creates a sense of coziness, softness, and style. What makes the Marenco so special is that this softness is no accident: the design became famous because each cushion was conceived as a separate volume, which contributed to the pronounced comfort and recognizable sculptural appearance.
This concerns the XXL version . And it is precisely in this that the beauty of the design comes to the fore even more strongly: the proportions are generous, balanced, and particularly powerful in the space. It is a sofa that not only sits beautifully but also immediately defines an interior.
The designer also deserves his place in this story. Mario Marenco was born in 1933 , obtained his architecture degree in Naples in 1957 , won research grants for Stockholm and Chicago , and opened his own studio in Rome in 1960. During his career, he worked with major names such as Arflex, Artemide, B&B , and other Italian companies, and grew into one of the most prominent voices in Italian design.
Arflex also lends extra weight to this piece. The brand originated in 1947 from experiments with new materials such as foam rubber and elastic bands, and became one of the pioneers of high-end Italian seating furniture. It is precisely within this history that the Marenco occupies a central place as one of the house's most recognizable and beloved models.
