Italy, 2000s
Milanese architect Luca Scacchetti designed the Hydra Castor line for Poltrona Frau in 1992; its upholstered components came in a variety of silhouettes from clean-lined to baroque. For this sofa and accompanying lounge chair, manufactured in the early 2000s and upholstered in brilliant white leather, the elegant chrome frames float a deeply cushioned tufted seat and a striking backrest that flares outward.

The dimensions below are for the sofa; the chair is a wide 28.75 inches.
