Tecno

When the D70 was first presented as a “patented divan-bed” at the Exhibition of individual furniture items in the 10th Triennale Exhibition in 1954, it emblemised the fresh direction taken by the newly formed Tecno. Almost as a manifesto statement, the highly visible mechanical joint expressed Osvaldo Borsani’s determination to design and make items of furniture that were original, autonomous and elegant in form, but technical and industrial in production.
