By Directional, Vladimir Kagan
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
This exceptional sculptural lounge sofa, designed by the legendary Vladimir Kagan and produced by Directional in 1999, is an iconic example of American modernism at its most expressive. Commonly referred to as the “Cloud Sofa” for its whimsical, organic silhouette and voluptuous form, this piece is more than just a seating element; it is a functional sculpture that commands attention from every angle.
Kagan’s visionary approach to form, deeply influenced by biomorphic and architectural curves, is fully realized in this largest-scale version of the Cloud Sofa. Its sweeping boomerang-shaped frame and serpentine lines create a dramatic, almost kinetic presence, making it an anchor point in any interior, be it a contemporary gallery, private residence, or design-forward hospitality setting.
The sofa has been reupholstered in a sumptuous caramel mohair by Pierre Frey, selected for its luxurious hand, tonal warmth, and rich texture. This bespoke upholstery respects the original design specifications, maintaining the integrity and intention of Kagan’s vision. The slipcover construction allows for easy removal, offering the option for custom reupholstery to suit individual taste or evolving interiors. Our upholstery atelier can assist with tailored material consultations and premium execution upon request.
Elevating the form further, the sofa rests on discreet plywood feet clad in chrome-plated metal, adding a reflective contrast to the plush body above. The piece bears its original Vladimir Kagan New York Collection...
