About the Item

This beautiful curved sofa features the recognizable touch of European Modernism: exquisite materials, craftsmanship, and an elegantly curved shape, because of which this type of sofa is often referred to as the “kidney”, “banana” or “boomerang” style. What unites the style behind these nicknames is the spacious seat that is designed to encourage social interaction by bringing people closer together in a stylish and cosy manner. The visual appearance of this sofa echoes European mid-century modern design and directs the eyes to the voluptuous body, that is the result of the exquisite craftsmanship. Many of the well-known European cabinetmakers and designer/architects of the era felt the urge to try their hands at statement sofas, adhering to the period’s streamlined modernism. In combination with the unadorned styles of mid-century design, this sofa brings together the best attributes of the era. The six short, conical and tapered wood legs add an organic feel, balancing out the voluptuous profile of the sofa. The side legs are also splayed, reinforcing stability. The masterful sense of proportions, the kidney-shaped seat, the freestanding back, and the soft upholstery guarantee functionality and comfort for both the human body and the eyes alike. While most curved sofas of the era feature tufting and other forms of decoration, this model is free from unnecessary ornamentation, resulting in a sleek, elegant and modern look. Furthermore, textured fabrics pair incredibly with curvilinear shapes, as demonstrated with this sofa. The historic movement of mid-century modern continues to permeate our sense of what’s contemporary. With a classic look, storied design and solid quality, this unique sofa is truly elegant and timeless, ideal as a statement piece thanks to its stylish colour and characteristic design.
