90s Giuseppe Manzoni ‘Mickey’ sofa for Baxter Italy

Baxter designs and manufactured high quality furniture. Some call it the Rolls-Royce among sofas. Design is as important for them as any highclass italian furniture manufacturer. But there is something more, that makes each piece of furniture unique. The full Baxter philosophy is aimed on human feelings.

Peoples mood, the way of feeling, is meaningful and, in the collections, it is explored through the mixing and matching: a never-predictable blend of materials, colours, textures and writings. This is a winning trend. Each product becomes a style game: subtle, fizzy, elegant, sensual. It becomes almost art in this way of development.
There is only one rule within the R&D department of Baxter: the matching harmony, going further the single product and taking the shape and the essence of the overall view.

This kind of different view on furnitures result in a range of beautiful designed products that people instinctively like.For example this with bull leather dressed three seat sofa. Take a closer look and you recognize the everlasting quality of the leather but you also see details like humanlike minor curves and more technical double stiching rows.

Giuseppe Manzoni designed the Mickey sofa and fauteuils for Baxter in 1998 and dressed the furnitures with thick leather upholstery. The sofa has a classic but timeless look and is extremly comfortable.
