Afra & Tobia Scarpa "Bastiano" 3-seater sofa for Gavina 1960s black Leather
Distinguish your living space with a curated design piece that reflects your unique style. This exceptional 1960s Bastiano 3-seater sofa is a monument of Italian modernism, masterfully designed by the legendary duo Afra & Tobia Scarpa for Dino Gavina. Conceived in 1962, the Bastiano revolutionized mid-century residential seating by stripping away heavy traditional padding and complex carpentry, introducing a clean, visible solid wood frame wrapped around loose, plush drop-in cushions.
The architectural genius of the Scarpa design is apparent in the sofa’s distinct square profile, where the side armrests sit intentionally lower than the backrest to offer an incredibly spacious, elegant, and relaxing seating posture. The solid hardwood structure houses an internal high-resiliency spring-webbing system that remains in excellent condition, ensuring uncompromising stability, structural solidity, and deep comfort.
Adding maximum value and provenance for discerning collectors, the frame still proudly retains its original manufacturer label featuring the classic factory logo. The deep cushions are upholstered in their premium original black leather, providing a luxurious, dense, and supportive lounging experience that works effortlessly within contemporary, minimal, or high-end industrial homes.
This piece arrives in stunning original vintage condition. It has been professionally cleaned and sanitized, and the high-grade black leather has been meticulously detailed, treated, and regenerated. While it shows entirely normal, light signs of superficial wear in localized areas, these minor age characteristics only enhance its rich history and authentic character without compromising its beautiful aesthetic or everyday functionality.
How to clean and maintain these premium leather and solid wood surfaces? For routine upkeep, simply wipe down the solid wood frame with a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. Gently vacuum the crevices between the leather cushions using a soft brush upholstery attachment.
To keep the original black leather soft, hydrated, and supple, apply a high-quality neutral leather balm or specialized conditioning cream with a soft cloth once or twice a year. Buff gently with a dry rag after it absorbs.
Never use harsh chemical household sprays, multi-surface cleaners, solvent degreasers, or excessive amounts of water on the wood or leather components. Keep the sofa positioned away from direct, prolonged sunlight and active heat sources to prevent the organic leather from drying or cracking over time.
