Vintage Djinn two-seater sofa designed by Olivier Mourgue in 1965 for Airborne. Metal frame lined with foam and covered in yellow Kvadrat publisher's fabric. The feet have steel Skates. The Djinn sofa whose shape was inspired by the genies of Arabian culture that can adopt any form, human or animal, is a masterpiece of Space Age design.

Born in Paris in 1939, Mourgue, starting from the '60s became known for his series of furniture and household objects with a playful and pop look, typical of those years: such as the lamp Flower designed for Disderot in 1967 and the armchair of the Montreal series...

Paul Laszlo Attributed Curved Sectional Sofa Reupholstered in Pink Ikat Fabric
By Paul Laszlo
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This modular lightly curved sectional sofa attributed to Paul Laszlo features three sections that can be arranged in several different ways, reupholstered in a gorgeous pink and plum colored ikat fabric which is in excellent like-new condition, only lightly used in a showroom setting and ready to be placed in a high-end luxury interior.
What makes this sofa so great? Well - there are many, first the shape and silhouette is just incredible - just look at the side profile photos in this listing. Whether you put all 3 pieces together to form one long sofa monumental enough to sit 4 to 5 people or you can separate the sections - you can have a spacious loveseat large enough to sit 3 people and separate wide lounge chair big enough to sit 2 people or place all three sections separately across the room, the slightly curved shape with channel tufted mid and upper back sections sitting atop thin wood feet look so incredible. The large oversized padded arm wrests are comfortable and look great. The deep seated and plush seat cushions allow you to sit back and watch TV in comfort or take a long cozy nap. And last but not least - the fabric is just so special... the pink, plum and white ikat fabric is so on-trend for high end interior design.

Antique, New and Vintage Loveseats
Antique and vintage loveseats are functional and totally charming furniture in homes large and small these days. They first appeared in the 17th and 18th centuries, though they were not yet known by this endearing term.
These petite, two-seat sofas were originally intended to comfortably sit a woman clad in what were the era’s large and elaborate dresses — ornate hooped garments with copious folds of fabric, embroidery and lace. However, because the original seats featured just enough space for two, they quickly became popular for couples that were courting. Loveseats meant that the couples could engage in close conversation, but furniture makers ensured that there was enough space between sitters to prioritize modesty.
In the early days of loveseats, the furnishings were minimalist in appearance and could often be found in an s-shape, with the two sides facing each other. The spare seating was initially little more than a wooden bench, as loveseats weren’t yet upholstered or cushioned. Design of the seating evolved over time, and this wide chair was eventually padded and tufted for comfort. During the 1800s, loveseats were a luxurious addition to the homes of the wealthy, and even today, antique 19th-century loveseats are still quite alluring. In any lavishly decorated parlor of the Victorian era, you might find a pair of partygoers tucked into a particularly plush iteration of these cozy perches, one boasting arched crests of carved mahogany over its sculpted seats, with front cabriole legs resolving in paw feet.
In modern homes, loveseats — even antique Victorian loveseats — pair well with oversize sofas or are ideal replacements for sofas, particularly if you’re working on organizing and furnishing a smaller space. A loveseat is a stylish addition to a home library or a reading nook and can easily be situated at the foot of the bed in your bedroom. In the living room, you may wish to position your vintage loveseat and couch around a central focal point, such as a distinguishing architectural feature or a fireplace. But be sure to leave some walking room between your seating and any nearby coffee tables or side tables. Allow for around two feet for guests to pass between a couch and chair or loveseat and at least a foot between a loveseat and coffee table.
Find a wide variety of antique, new and vintage loveseats today on 1stDibs.
