Product Details
Description
This extraordinary set consisting of a sofa and an armchair is the result of a collaboration between legendary French actor Alain Delon and the prestigious Maison Jansen, one of the most renowned Parisian furniture houses of the 20th century, with Italian distribution by Mario Sabot.
Created in the early 1970s, these pieces represent one of Delon's rare forays into interior design—a natural extension of his charismatic personality and refined aesthetic. An absolute icon of European cinema and a symbol of masculine elegance, Delon infuses the project with the same tension between strength and sensuality that characterizes his film roles.
The sofa and armchair, upholstered in the original fabric with a tone-on-tone tobacco-colored geometric pattern, stand out for their enveloping and sculptural shape, almost like a wave or a shell, where every curve is designed to blend comfort and theatricality. The fan-shaped backrest, which opens like a dramatic drape, is a clear reference to the cinematic and glamorous dimension of the period, as well as to the idea of an "intimate refuge" that permeated Parisian interior design of the time.
Maison Jansen, famous for furnishing royal palaces, presidential residences, and high-society homes in Paris, London, and Buenos Aires, found in Delon an unexpected interpreter who was perfectly consistent with its aesthetic philosophy: combining classicism, theatricality, and modernity in a single vision.
Distributed in Italy by Mario Sabot, these furnishings were part of a luxury collection that demonstrated the growing fusion of cinema, fashion, and design. Today, the set stands as an absolute rarity, a testament to a time when movie stars became true stylists, and furnishings, like clothing, played a part in building the myth.
The pieces are completed by the original “AD Alain Delon” metal plates, a sign of authenticity and belonging to a limited production.
NB: The set can also be purchased separately. Price on request.
