Il Padrino, the godfather of sofas, is a unique 1970s piece by Rubelli and Pierre Frey typical of midcentury design’s penchant for pieces that facilitated entertaining. As such, it incorporates both metal lamps and ashtrays into the armrests. The sofa’s pillows, ashtrays and lamps have been expertly restored to their original splendor: a statement sofa for grand occasions.
