Studio 65

It was founded in 1965 in Turin as an avant-garde experimental collective of architects, designers, poets and artists.

[4] Towards the end of the seventies, the collective broke up, and Audrito and Sampanitou - keeping the name Studio 65 - started an Architectural and design activity base in Arab countries, in parallel with a work of re-edition, rediscovery and contamination of some of the most iconic pieces of their production and creation of unique pieces, often produced in collaboration with iconic Made in Italy companies such as Gufram and Savio Firmino.

[1] The Bocca sofa was designed in 1970 as part of the project for a new fitness centre in Milan that Studio 65 was commissioned to complete.

[6] It was made of soft polyurethane upholstered with fabric and produced by Gufram, an Italian furniture manufacturer.

"[1] As Maria Cristina Didero writes, "sitting on history" became a clear statement that it was possible to break with traditions and the overwhelming weight of Modernism and fight for your ideas via imaginative expression.
