Pair of Two Seat Mohair 'California' Sofas, Jacques Charpentier, Paris, 1970
About the Item
Superb and exclusive pair of two seat Mohair Velvet 'CALIFORNIA' sofas freshly reupholstered with Italian luxury Mohair Velvet fabric from Dedar Milano with inset stainless steel bases by Parisian high society designer Jacques Charpentier.
This plush mohair pile captures the light in a very interesting and organic way and and is very inviting and soft to the touch.
The 'Californian' model sofas and lounge chairs by Charpentier were retailed through the exclusive Galerie 'FLAT' in Paris from 1970 and were published in several important French design journals of the period. Please see list of literature at bottom of page.
These wonderful sofas have just been restored in our inhouse upholstery shop, both sofas have been stripped right back to their bare wood frames and have new high quality seat support and backrest support webbing installed, we then installed brand new high quality foam throughout and finished the sofas in a beautiful high quality italian 'Dedar' mohair velvet fabric which has a luxurious deep pile. The backrest and seat cushions are also extremely practical in that the fabric covers have zippers so the internal foam can easily be changed over time without destroying the velvet covers.
As an installation idea you could also install these sofas in an L form ie set at right angles to each other with a low table installed in the corner,. We have a very suitable table of perfect dimensions , the 'shillings' table with integral planter designed by Ausenda, Baldo Grossi & Gavioli for 'NY Form' Italy in 1970 which could be used in the corner, please see image 12,. If you are also interested in the table please put the reference U120415930110 in the 1stDibs search box to see the separate listing for the table.
PLEASE NOTE We have noticed that currently there are many mid end, average quality, French lounge chairs and sofas with steel bases by manufacturer's such as 'Roche Bobois' which are currently being falsely attributed to the high end and exclusive work of Jacques Charpentier - the sofas we offer here are the rare real deal and restored with much love in our upholstery atelier so we have full provenance.
