1970s Confidential Armchairs by Alberto Rosselli for Saporiti Italia

Italian 1970s design modular armchairs in cognac leather

Designed in 1972 by Alberto Rosselli for Saporiti Italia, the Confidential armchairs are regarded as one of the first modular seating systems ever created for private interiors. With their enveloping curves, soft proportions, and rich leather upholstery, they embody the elegance and innovation of 1970s Italian furniture design.

Modular comfort with sculptural form

These armchairs feature generous foam cushions upholstered in supple leather, offering both deep comfort and bold visual presence. Their rounded silhouettes and modular design allow them to be placed as standalone armchairs or combined with the matching sofa, creating versatile seating arrangements adaptable to different interiors.

Alberto Rosselli and Saporiti Italia

Alberto Rosselli (1921–1976), an architect and designer closely associated with Gio Ponti, introduced the Confidentialseries in the early 1970s. Produced by Saporiti Italia, the collection reflects the postmodern spirit of experimentation, merging sculptural form with domestic functionality. Today, these armchairs are celebrated as highly collectible icons of 1970s Italian design, sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts worldwide.
