Fede Cheti (1905-1978) was a pioneer in textile and rug design in Italy during the mid-20th century. In 1936 she founded her own company in Milan, which employed many prominent art ists, designers and illustrators. Gio Ponti was one with whom she worked but also shared a close personal relationship. This Fede Cheti settee, characterized by a flourishing lip or moustache shaped-back, retains its original lavender upholstery. The fabric is sun faded along its base, suggesting that the sofa most likely once wore a pleated skirt, an original component of the design.
