Massimo Vignelli for Poltronova Saratoga sofa set & coffee table

Italian Mid Century Modern sofa and coffee table set

This rare and complete Saratoga living room set designed by Massimo Vignelli for Poltronova is an icon of Italian Mid Century Modern and Space Age design. The ensemble includes one three-seater sofa, one two-seater sofa, two single lounge chairs, and the original square coffee table, making it a comprehensive and collectible suite.

Sculptural design and timeless application

The Saratoga series, first created in 1964, is defined by its geometric volumes, lacquered wood frames, and box-like silhouette. Upholstered in supple leather, the pieces balance architectural clarity with comfort. The strong interplay between glossy lacquered surfaces and soft cushions gives the collection a refined presence. This set offers a bold aesthetic statement, making it ideal for modernist interiors, contemporary living rooms, or design-focused spaces.

Historical and material context

Massimo Vignelli (1931–2014), a master of rationalist design, conceived the Saratoga collection for Poltronova as one of the first fully modular living systems of its era. Its sculptural simplicity reflects Vignelli’s commitment to pure, functional forms rooted in modernist architecture. Produced in Italy during the 1970s, these pieces are increasingly rare, especially when offered as a complete set with both sofas and the matching coffee table. Today, the Saratoga set is considered one of the most important and collectible examples of Italian modernist furniture.
