In place of a conventional interior frame, generous volumes of polyurethane foam are gathered and shaped by a single enveloping metal clasp. The silhouette is a direct consequence of that structural gesture, nothing more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was a precise response to a charged cultural moment. Italian design in the late 1960s was pulling at the conventions of domestic furniture, and the Scarpas answered not with severity or irony, but with warmth. Rounded, enveloping contours invite repose. The proportions are soft without being formless, considered without feeling calculated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned by Afra and Tobia Scarpa, 1969\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyurethane foam construction, no internal rigid frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm defined by a single enveloping metal clasp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompasso d'Oro recipient, 1970\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduced by Cassina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Soriana received the Compasso d'Oro in 1970, a recognition of both its technical originality and the emotional intelligence of its form.
