Three-seater And Two-Seater Model 'Kali' By Michel Ducaroy For Ligne Roset
Located in Hellouw, NL
Three-seater and two-seater model 'Kali' by Michel Ducaroy for Ligne Roset.We know the illustrious designer and integral part of the French label Ligne Roset from the iconic and best-selling Togo line. But a period of five years before the release of this line, Ducaroy was already developing and releasing models consisting entirely of foam. This model called Kali is a fruit of that period and was designed and released in 1970.We are talking about a two-seater and a three-seater with a pleasant seating comfort. You can really sink into it in a splendid manner. It forces you, as it were, to lounge and to let a sense of relaxation take hold of you. The L-contoured sofas are marked by rounded shapes and a beautiful reupholstery in a shimmering wine red bouclé colorful give this design extra cachet.When we take a look at the seat, a traditional tufting technique is revealed that, in addition to pulling the fabric taut, also adds a beautiful pattern. The stitching on the left side of each sofa bears the Ligne Roset label and the bottom cloth is also original and fully covered with the Roset pattern mark.As indicated earlier, the reupholstery has been redone. With these two you will find yourself a rare Ligne Roset Kali...

Quinta Strada 2-Seat Small Sofa in Clean Grey Upholstery by Sergio Bicego
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Brought out in 1996, the Quinta Strada seating range was a pioneering design of the modern style. Streamlined yet modularly flexible, the range is now reproduced with a sensitive restyling that is mindful of the new contemporary language. The black chrome finish of the feet, the thinner joining clamps and the lightness of the base and back support are elegant touches appropriate to the modern lifestyle. The various pieces in the Quinta Strada collection allow for numerous configurations and particularly interesting compositions even in corner situations.
Born in 1953 he left formal education and began, almost by chance, his experience in the field of the padded furniture. Fascinated by the world that surrounded him, he eagerly devoted himself to researching building forms and techniques which have borne fruit for the companies in which he worked. In 1991 he opened his studio as an independent designer and in 1993 he came across Saba Italia. New challenges and new incentives lead to the creation of the “nomad sofa”: Taos, Ananta, Limes, Nesting, Pixel. Creations that were born from reflection of new desires that encourage us to live in a less formal way, equipped with systems that enable change with simple gestures, by playing with shapes.
Structure: Base in plywood and steel, back in honeycomb-paneled solid wood padded with variable-density polyurethane foam (75IP and 30IP), covered with velfodera on a polyester fiber 300 gr/sqm. The back is supported by steel brackets black...

Shop Unique Sofas on 1stDibs: Find Mario Bellini Sofas, Togo Sofas, Vladimir Kagan Sofas and Other Seating for Sale
Black leather, silk velvet cushions, breathable bouclé fabric — when shopping for antique or vintage sofas, today’s couch connoisseurs have much to choose from in terms of style and shape. But it wasn’t always thus.
The sofa is typically defined as a long upholstered seat that features a back and arms and is intended for two or more people. While the term “couch” comes from the Old French couche, meaning to lie down, and sofa has Eastern origins, both are forms of divan, a Turkish word that means an elongated cushioned seat. Bench-like seating in Ancient Greece, which was padded with soft blankets, was called klinai. No matter how you spell it, sofa just means comfort, at least it does today.
In the early days of sofa design, upholstery consisted of horsehair or dried moss. Sofas that originated in countries such as France during the 17th century were more integral to decor than they were to comfort. Like most Baroque furnishings from the region, they frequently comprised heavy, gilded mahogany frames and were upholstered in floral Beauvais tapestry. Today, options abound when it comes to style and material, with authentic leather offerings and classy steel settees. Plush, velvet chesterfields represent the platonic ideal of coziness.
Vladimir Kagan’s iconic sofa designs, such as the Crescent and the Serpentine — which, like the sectional sofas of the 1960s created by furniture makers such as Harvey Probber, are quite popular among mid-century modern furniture enthusiasts — showcase the spectrum of style available to modern consumers. Those looking to make a statement can turn to Studio 65’s lip-shaped Bocca sofa, which was inspired by the work of Salvador Dalí. Elsewhere, the furniture of the 1970s evokes an era when experimentation ruled, or at least provided a reason to break the rules. Just about every area of society felt a sudden urge to be wayward, to push boundaries — and buttons. Vintage leather sofas of that decade are characterized by a rare blending of the showy and organic.
With so many options, it’s important to explore and find the perfect furniture for your space. Paying attention to the lines of the cushions as well as the flow from the backrest into the arms is crucial to identifying a cohesive new piece for your home or office.
Fortunately, with styles from every era — and even round sofas — there’s a luxurious piece for every space. Deck out your living room with an Art Deco lounge or go retro with a nostalgic '80s design. No matter your sitting vision, the right piece is waiting for you in the expansive collection of unique sofas on 1stDibs.
