Socrates Sofa by Poltrona Frau, Italy, 1980s
Deep Cognac Patinated Leather Sofa with Down Filled Cushions

A quietly architectural piece, the Socrates sofa by Poltrona Frau reflects the brand’s mastery of proportion, material and restraint. Designed in the 1980s, it combines a low, structured silhouette with a relaxed, lounge driven presence, making it both visually refined and highly livable.

Upholstered in a deep, dark cognac leather, the surface reveals a rich, naturally developed patina. The leather is exceptionally soft, with subtle tonal shifts and gentle creasing that give the piece depth and character. Clean lines and precise stitching define the slender frame, offering a crisp counterpoint to the softness within.

The design is distinguished by the contrast between its thin, architectural shell and the generous, down filled cushions. Newly refilled, they provide exceptional comfort while maintaining their relaxed, informal volume. This interplay between structure and softness gives the sofa its signature presence, balancing discipline with ease.

A particularly refined detail lies in the softly rounded rear corners, allowing the piece to be appreciated from every angle. This makes it especially suitable for open space placement, where its sculptural quality can fully express itself.

Good vintage condition. The leather shows only a beautiful, honest wear, enhancing its overall presence.
