About the Item
A sculptural and elegant modular sofa designed by Karl Wittmann after Pierre Paulin, produced by Wittmann, Austria, in the 1970s. This rare and highly collectible piece embodies the organic, sensuous forms that defined modern European design of the era.
Comprising three modular elements, the sofa offers flexible configurations—arrange as a sweeping three-seat sofa, a corner composition, or individual lounge pieces. Each module features luxuriously rounded contours and deep, low seating, ensuring both comfort and visual impact.
The sofa is upholstered in a rich cream-colored fabric, beautifully complementing its sculptural silhouette and enhancing its timeless appeal. The craftsmanship is quintessential Wittmann—meticulous construction, enduring materials, and refined detailing.
Reminiscent of Paulin’s iconic designs for Artifort yet distinguished by Wittmann’s Austrian sensibility, this modular sofa is a statement of 1970s modernism, ideal for collectors and connoisseurs of high design.
