Manufactured by Cassina in 1993, the Mod. 851 Diwan sofa exemplifies the innovative approach that Ettore Sottsass brought to late 20th-century design. The designer believed that objects should not only be functional but also aesthetically engaging and vibrant. This piece embodies that philosophy, departing from traditional sofa design to offer a bold, captivating form while maintaining elegance.
