Misuraemme
AA1 Sofa Bed
The AA1 model by MisuraEmme is a rare example of a "designer sofa bed": it was in fact designed by the Finnish Alvar Aalto, unanimously considered one of the greatest architects of the twentieth century. The design of this sofa bed dates back to 1932, in an initial phase of the career of Aalto in his early thirties who had recently come into contact with the key concepts of Modernism by Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius, which he will then supply over the years to come up with a very personal interpretation. AA1 was originally designed for the Swiss brand Wohnbedarf and still reflects in a rather slavish way the key concepts of Modernism: extensive use of tubular steel, ease of use, rational and no-frills shapes. The result is an icy and elegant sofa bed, still very current, with backrest and seat adjustable in different angles up to the 180° degrees necessary to lie down comfortably.

MisuraEmme is a company that has its roots in the centuries-old craft tradition of Brianza. Throughout its long history, which began in 1902 with the foundation by the Mascheroni family, it has played a leading role in the vicissitudes of Italian design. In the years of industrialization, it has become important as one of the spearheads of the world of Made in Italy furniture, thanks to its factory of over 35,000 square meters in Mariano Comense which has guaranteed a productive force with few equals. In more recent years the brand has also distinguished itself for its marked environmental sensitivity, acquiring ecological painting systems.Read more
Designed by
Alvar Aalto
Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is a true legend of Finnish architecture and design and can rightly be considered the founding father of the Scandinavian path to Modernism, richer in warmth and closer to nature than the original model. Where Le Corbusier and Marcel Breuer used a cold material such as tubular steel, Aalto introduces curved plywood, in whose use he was a pioneer and master. Another material much loved by him for its natural characteristics was glass, folded in bold and sinuous curves in his creations for Iittala. His most prolific period was the 1930s, to which many of his most famous architectural projects date back, such as the Viipuri library, the Paimio sanatorium or the famous Villa Mairea in Noormarkku. In 1935 he founded the Artek company together with his wife Aino Marsio, his long-time collaborator, and other partners. The brand was dedicated to the mass production of the furniture and lamps he conceived and will meet an incredible worldwide success, which lasts until today.Read more
