Tearsheet
Rodolfo Bonetto and Giotto Stoppino for Tarlisio, 'Bossa' sofa, fiberglass, corduroy velvet, Italy, 1968

This rare Bossa sofa (1968), born from the collaboration between Rodolfo Bonetto and Giotto Stoppino, embodies the experimental spirit of late 1960s design. Its form is defined by a low, sculptural silhouette, where a continuous, off-white fiberglass shell wraps around the base and sides in a smooth, flowing curve. The shell rises gently at the back to create an integrated backrest, giving the sofa a cocoon-like, grounded presence.

Nestled within this rigid outer frame are generously proportioned cushions upholstered in brown corduroy velvet. Together, its compact, low-slung geometry and enveloping shape perfectly captures the innovative and unconventional approach of late 1960s-1970s furniture design.
