Colin Morrow's design portfolio is defined by a modernist, tropical aesthetic that blends bold geometric configurations with natural materials. His work with luxury manufacturer Vivai del Sud in the late 1970s and 1980s produced iconic rattan and bamboo pieces, including the "Ming Series" of sofas, armchairs, and mirrors

Founded in Rome in 1950 by the di Pierri brothers, Vivai del Sud began as a historic landscape gardening firm before expanding into furniture design. Their signature aesthetic draws heavy inspiration from classical Italian influences and Baroque motifs

Sourced from a private collection in Ostia, Rome, this vintage set is in good overall condition. It has undergone minor, professional restoration and has been newly finished with a protective shellac varnish.
