AND A BIT HISTORY ..
The reissued Sesann sofa designed by Gianfranco Frattini in 1970 is the shape and look that comes to mind when you think of tranquillity and warmth. The sofa controls the room with its sophisticated design and the strong-and-silent type volume it gives off. Sesann is the perfect combination of textures with the beige leather, chrome frame and ash wood feet.
Born in 1926 in Padua, Italy, Gianfranco Frattini graduated from the Politecnico di Milano in 1953. By the end of the 1950's Frattini, after being under the mentorship of the established Italian legend Gio Ponti, opened his own studio in Milan.
