1970s Tentazione Loveseat Two-Seat Sofa by Mario Bellini for Cassina
Early 1970s Mario Bellini for Cassina “Tentazione” 2-seat sofa / loveseat (Model #685) in original pale peach cotton upholstery with black circular disk ABS feet. Distributed / imported, retailed, and marketed by the New York Company, Atelier International.
Exemplifies the union of form and function. Stylish with sleek, shapely contours, yet exceedingly durable and comfortable.
Loveseat sat in a sun-drenched Manhattan apartment, so there is a large patch that appears darker than the rest, as that space was shaded from direct sunlight (evidenced by the color of the interior material, as shown). The darkened patch is a better reflection of the actual color of the loveseat originally. Despite the darkened area, the upholstery is sound, free of soiling or wear, and can be left as is. Reupholstery is recommended to achieve a uniform tone; however, not absolutely necessary.
