About the Item
Extremely rare huge sofa set by Norman Bel Geddes from the 1950s.
We have the set from the possession of a US soldier stationed in Germany or Roth after the 2nd World War.
In the variant with two two-seat sofas, two single armchairs and the corner part, we have never sighted before.
The set has clear traces of use on the upholstery, but no holes, only faded. A rear wooden leg has apparently been replaced and is not made of the same wood, which is not noticeable as it is in almost the same color.
We deliberately left the set in the original fabric to deter any fans of the original or not to make the right color choice.
On request the set can of course be reused, please ask for the price in advance if you would like us to make it for you.
USA, circa 1949, beech, Sofa height 77 cm, width 160 cm, depth 63 cm, seat height 42 cm, armchairs height 77 cm, width 90 cm, depth 63 cm, seat height 42 cm.
Norman Bel Geddes (born Norman Melancton Geddes; April 27, 1893-May 8, 1958) was an American theatrical and industrial designer.
