About the Item

Awesome vintage postmodern bench or settee reminiscent of The Memphis Group.

Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Late 20th Century. Move over Modern decor…. this eclectic bench or settee is FULL of cutting-edge style and it’s SCREAMING with a powerful posh postmodern attitude!! It has a bold and beautiful presence comprised of a vivid purple vinyl fabric featuring contrasting double stripes of turquoise and a blue center stripe upholstered over a comfortable foam cushion. The flashy colors and unconventional shape of the frame model the style of The Memphis Group and quite frankly… demand attention. The seat is held by two extruded brushed aluminum slab shaped tube legs and it bears an interesting design as it is backless, but with arms!

Handsome streamline modern, Mid-Century Modern, or Industrial style royal blue & vinyl or faux leather and chrome chaise or daybed with adjustable head or back rest. Wonderful condition keeping in mind that this is vintage & not new so there will be signs of wear & use.
