Antonio Citterio is an architect and designer who lives and works in Milan. Since 1988 he has been collaborating with Vitra, for whom he has created several models of chairs and office systems, as well as products for the Vitra Home Collection. The sofa in tender, difficult to find because it has two arms that seem to be in suspension thanks to the two metal structures that support it, rises on legs with two spokes each. The polychromy combines black and white hallmarks of great modernity, especially in the backrest decorated with paintings.

Antonio Citterio studied architecture at the Polytechnic University of Milan, and in 1972 he began his activity as a consultant and designer in the field of industrial design. His designs are currently part of prestigious collections such as that of the MoMA in New York.
