This is a very important piece of design history, and to understand why - it is all in the details, so to anyone interested in modern art and interior design, please keep reading. Vladimir Kagan’s 'Roll Back Day Bed' (model #6718) was originally conceived as a one-off design for a client in the 1950s. Valdimir Kagan selected Rosewood and Lucite, materials he had just started experimenting with at that time, blended it into a futuristic frame with a brass-capped cylindrical adjustable back cushion that can transform the sofa into a daybed and even into a double sided gallery seating system. All on top of Lucite legs giving the appearance the sofa is floating above ground. By all accounts - Vladimir Kagan advertisements, catalogues, the design community and even the team at Vladimir Kagan Designs had it documented that the design (model 6718 Roll Back Day Bed) was first put into production in 1967, however this one - this exact sofa in the photos and listed for sale, IS THE ONE that he created in the 1950s for a special one-off client. And it was later, in 1967 that he decided to bring the design into production, all based on this concept model which we have listed for sale. This is all documented with the Vladimir Kagan archives under registry 25073. They were thrilled to have found this surviving example and have added it into their archives, knowledge-base and timelines. They wrote: "We conducted a detailed review of the Kagan Archive, and we were puzzled to find that Vladimir consistently dated the release of the Roll Back Day Bed to 1967. Also based on Vladimir’s accounts, Hugo Dreyfuss retired in 1960, ending their partnership. This would mean that your example pre-dates the “earliest production date” we have on record for the Roll Back Day Bed or Roll Back Sofa...

A large curved beige yellow bouclé fabric and metal sofa designed by Vladimir Kagan and produced by Kagan-Dreyfuss Inc. Seat height: 15.5” Reupholstered in brand new bouclé fabric.

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...
