About the Item

A collectible Scandinavian modern sofa by Peter Opsvik, this 1980s Globe sofa features a sculptural, spherical cushion, upholstered in two tones leather. Its enveloping curves show Opsvik ergonomic concern with striking visual presence, making it both a functional seat and a statement piece. Exemplifying the innovation of 1980's design, this chair is a great exemple of post-modern design. The sofa has a three part structure supporting round seats and a backrest, composed of a balloon-style cushion in the lower part and a bolster in the upper part.
