The “Tatlin” sofa by Mario Cananzi and Roberto Semprini, designed for the Italian brand Edra, is an impressive example of furniture that combines design and art in a unique way. Inspired by Vladimir Tatlin's “Monument to the Third International”, the sofa has a sculptural, spiral structure that radiates dynamism and movement. It looks like a work of art that is integrated into the room and at the same time offers practical seating. The design reflects the influence of the Memphis style, a movement founded by Ettore Sottsass in the 1980s that gained worldwide recognition for its bold color choices, geometric shapes and postmodern approach.

The Memphis style, named after the Bob Dylan song “Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again”, revolutionized the design world with its rebellion against minimalist and functional design principles. Instead of focusing on restraint and practicality, the movement celebrated eccentricity, creativity and humor. Typical of the Memphis style are asymmetrical shapes, the playful use of colors (often primary and pastel shades), as well as unconventional materials such as laminate, plastic or metal. Patterns such as stripes, dots and geometric motifs characterize many pieces.

The designs often look like a collage or an interplay of elements that appear incompatible at first glance, but ultimately create harmony.

The “Tatlin” sofa picks up on these characteristics and translates them into a modern, timeless form. The bold colors - red, blue, yellow and green - are not only visually striking, but also create a positive, energetic atmosphere. The round base of the sofa, upholstered for comfort, contrasts with the spiral backrest, which gives a sense of upward movement and lightness. This design piece breaks away from traditional sofa concepts and becomes a central element in any room. It is ideal for bold interiors that want to express creativity and individuality.

The “Tatlin” sofa is not just a piece of furniture, but a statement that embodies the spirit of the Memphis style: the freedom to question conventions and combine function with artistic expression. It appeals to people who see interior design as a form of personal and cultural self-expression.

Condition: The “Tatlin” sofa by Mario Cananzi and Roberto Semprini is in good, well-kept condition. The upholstery in the eye-catching colors red, blue, yellow and green is well preserved. The seams are intact and sturdy, which underlines the high-quality workmanship. The metal legs are robust and free from major damage and show hardly any scratches. This sofa is a rare opportunity to acquire a design piece with iconic character that is in top condition despite its age.
